Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Smoked Turkey Bacon: 8 oz, chopped
  • Plant-Based Cheese (shredded): 2 cups
  • Frozen Cheese or Spinach Ravioli: 1 package (20 oz)
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural): 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic (minced): 3 cloves
  • Onion (diced): 1 medium
  • Crushed Tomatoes (natural): 1 can (28 oz)
  • Vegetable Broth: 1 cup
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 tablespoon
  • Italian Seasoning (natural): 1 teaspoon
  • Natural Gelling Agent: 1/2 teaspoon

Optional Variations

  • Chopped Spinach, Mushrooms, or Bell Peppers: 1 cup (optional, for veggie boost)
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes or Diced Jalapeños: to taste (optional, for spicy kick)
  • Extra Smoked Turkey Bacon or Shredded Chicken: 4 oz (optional, for added protein)
  • Mushroom or Butternut Squash Ravioli: substitute as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Start by sautéing diced onion and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until soft and fragrant. This aromatic foundation elevates the entire dish once combined in the crockpot.
  2. Build the Sauce: Add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), Italian seasoning (natural), and natural gelling agent to the skillet. Stir well and allow the flavors to meld gently for a few minutes.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Spread half of the sauce evenly on the bottom of your crockpot. Add a layer of frozen ravioli, then sprinkle half of the smoked turkey bacon and half of the shredded plant-based cheese evenly. Repeat the layering and finish with a generous topping of plant-based cheese.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the sauce is bubbly. Avoid lifting the lid frequently to maintain steady heat.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let the dish sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to set slightly, enhancing texture and flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen ravioli for best texture and shape retention during slow cooking.
  • Carefully layer ingredients to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  • Add cheese last to avoid overcooking and prevent rubbery texture.
  • Choose a high-quality smoked turkey bacon for the best flavor impact.
  • Adjust liquid levels by adding more crushed tomatoes or thickened vegetable broth if the sauce appears too thin.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
