Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna is a family favorite and so quick and easy to make! A delicious meat sauce layered with cheese and spinach filled ravioli and loads of gooey cheese and cooks up perfectly in the slow cooker. A meal that everyone will agree on. Did I mention how easy this lasagna is to make?
Easy Easy Easy
This Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna is a family favorite! It seems we’re always off at some activity or event and some nights it seems like everyone is going through a revolving door. This is perfect because it’s quick to make and we can have it ready for when we get home from soccer practice.
We love lasagna and although there are a lot of steps involved in making a lasagna from scratch, the results are always worth it! This Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna uses a few shortcuts to make a lasagna dish that takes just about 15 minutes of prep and then cooks in the slow cooker but has the same great flavor.
Saucy Lasagna In Your Slow Cooker
The key to making this taste amazing is to use a high quality pasta sauce, the better the sauce, the better the dish!
Cheese and spinach filled ravioli (or you can use just cheese ravioli) replace the traditional layers of pasta and ricotta cheese making it super simple to put together and no boiling required. Adding the cheese on top right at the beginning of the the cooking allows it to get that yummy crusty edge that I love!
This recipe makes a large batch and I would suggest a 6 quart slow cooker or larger.

If I wanted to double this recipe for a group of 12 women, would I need to cook it longer? Also, if I wanted to add Ricotta, how much do you think I should add and should I decrease the mozzarella if I add Ricotta?
Thanks,
Gwen
Hi Gwen, it should be fine to double this recipe and cook on low for the same length of time. If adding ricotta you could reduce the mozzarella in accordance.
