Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz smoked turkey bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb frozen ravioli (cheese, spinach, or mushroom)
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup grape juice
  • 4 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or cubed
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Optional Variations

  • Red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños (for spice)
  • Fresh basil, oregano, or thyme
  • Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini
  • Low-fat plant-based cheese and cream cheese (for lighter version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until lightly crisp. This releases the smoky aroma and builds a flavorful base for the sauce.
  2. Combine the Sauce Ingredients: In the slow cooker, whisk together tomato sauce (natural), grape juice, plant-based cream cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Ravioli and Bacon: Layer the frozen ravioli in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the cooked smoked turkey bacon evenly over the ravioli. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, gently stirring to combine without breaking the ravioli.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving. Serve directly from the slow cooker for a warm and comforting family meal.

Notes

  • Keep ravioli frozen to prevent sticking or breaking during cooking.
  • Keep the slow cooker lid secure to maintain moisture and ensure even cooking.
  • Stir gently when mixing ingredients to avoid tearing the ravioli.
  • Customize the cheese by trying different plant-based varieties for unique flavors.
  • Prep the turkey bacon and sauce the night before to save time on cooking day.
