For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese ravioli, such as spinach or mushroom. Add a layer of ricotta cheese for extra creaminess. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness. If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can make your own blend using equal parts dried oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram. To prevent sticking, you can lightly grease the slow cooker with cooking spray before adding the first layer of sauce. This dish can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
