Ravioli Casserole Crock Pot






6 - 8 Servings with a 7 quart crock pot pot. ~ 6 - 7 hours on low
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
15 oz tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomato's
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp italian seasoning
salt & pepper
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained (or use fresh)
16 oz bowtie pasta
1/2 cup shredded parmesan
1 1/2 cups mozzarella

Ravioli Casserole
Brown the ground beef.
I like to cook the onion with the meat and add garlic.
Put cooked meat in the crock pot.
Add the tomato sauce, stewed tomato’s, oregano, and italian seasoning.
Cover and Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.
During the last half hour, add the spinach, bowtie pasta, (uncooked, it will absorb the juices and cook perfectly in the crock), parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.

Mix well and 30 minutes later, dinner is served! I like to add a side of broccoli or a salad and some garlic bread.
