Think lasagna, but swap the noodles for cheese-filled ravioli and you get this fun twist on a classic. I love how the ravioli brings a little surprise of extra cheese tucked inside, making it feel like two pastas in one. It’s every bit as meaty and creamy as traditional lasagna, but that bonus layer of cheese makes it next level.

19. Slow Cooker Lasagna
I can’t decide what I love more: the 4 to 5 hours it slowly cooks away, filling the kitchen with the most incredible aroma, or the 4 to 5 minutes it takes my family to demolish it. This lasagna is hearty and decadent in all the right ways.
There are layers upon layers: meat sauce, a velvety cheese sauce, tender lasagna noodles, and a blanket of grated cheese on top. It’s outrageously delicious, no mystery there.
