Ingredients
1 (25 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli
1 lb ground beef
2 cups marinara sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
2. Drain fat and stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
3. Add marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. In a 9×13 baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce.
5. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli, then more sauce and a layer of mozzarella.
6. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan on top.
7. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes.
8. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
9. Let rest for 5 minutes. Top with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
Use frozen ravioli straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.
You can substitute ground turkey or sausage for beef.
Add dollops of ricotta between layers for extra creaminess.
