This Crock Pot Ravioli Meatball Casserole is actually a slow cooker adaptation of our popular oven Ravioli Lasagna over on our sister site. We love Ravioli Lasagna but the other day I just wanted to run a few errands and come home to dinner done. So, I grabbed my Casserole Crock Pot and altered things a bit and the results were just perfect!
Because I was on the run, I decided to use frozen meatballs instead of browning ground beef. I was also out of spaghetti sauce, so I decided to use some of my favorite pizza sauce and we loved it!
This is definitely one of my daughter’s favorites, however, my mom LOVES this recipe. She tells me all the time how much she loves it. So it is safe to say that kids of ages will enjoy it!
Slow Cooker Recommendations
I used my Casserole Crock Pot (Psst… did you see I am giving away a Casserole Crock Pot?) to whip this up fast. You could make this in other types of slow cookers, you may just have to adjust your cooking time.

This was great! I used spaghetti sauce too. We aren’t big pizza sauce people. Not the taste I had imagined. It was better. It took longer to cook in my casserole crock on high, but worth the wait.
Love that you made it fit your family’s preferences and so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to let us know. We love hearing when our readers enjoy one of our recipes!
I wanted to clean some things out of the freezer and found your recipe. It was so easy and very good and filling. I didn’t have pizza sauce so used a jar of marinara and it was delicious.
Wonderful Debby! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and were able to use what you had on hand!
This recipe was quick and easy to make. Delicious, and very filling. Will definitely make again.
Yeah, in a regular crock pot my dinner was still cold in the middle at 2 hours. Didn’t notice you had a different kind of crock pot…at 7:30 at night it still wasn’t ready. ๐ Had to microwave.
The ravioli were a little starchy too…
I really hate to hear that Sally. We try to always tell what kind of slow cooker we are using (under the Slow Cooker Recommendations heading) so you guys can adjust your cooking time as needed. My guess is the ravioli was starchy due to the microwave.
What exactly is a “casserole” crock pot. I have two pots, one the old fashioned, true labeled Crock Pot that is tall and round, and another one that is much newer and is oval. What does this third one look iike and how is it used differenty than the ones I have.
Hi Sharon- We wrote a post all about them here: http://www.recipesthatcrock.com/casserole-slow-cooker-101/ Enjoy!
Hi Sharon, I know Cris just described them with a link, but I’ve got to tell you from experience, they’re just awesome! It’s only a 3.5 quart capacity, BUT, the crockery is spread out into a 9″X13″ crockery-baking-dish, that’s oven-safe for browning (not the lid, just the crockery). I can’t highly recommend it enough. I go a little overboard with crock pots, as I now own three of the casserole types (2 analog, 1 digital — along with all my other oval crock pots); and I have to say that the casserole types are a welcome addition! Enjoy!
Could I do on low for 4 hours?
I just started getting your emails. I don’t have the casserole type crock pot but would love to! This ravioli meatball casserole looks delicious!
Can this be made in a regular Crock Pot? How would I adjust the time, etc?
Love your recipes.
I’d appreciate a response too
Hi Deanna & Jay-
Yes– any casserole crock pot recipe can be made in a regular slow cooker. However, time will vary from slow cooker to slow cooker depending on shape, size, age and many other factors. My guess is that it may take a little longer in an oval or round slow cooker because the recipe will be stacked more densely. I would check it at 90 min-2 hours and make sure the meatballs and ravioli are fully heated. If not, I would keep cooking it in 30 min increments until it is fully heated and then make a note of the time it took for future use. Hope that helps.
Enjoy!
