Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
- 1 jar (approx. 24 oz) spaghetti sauce (add more if needed)
- 1 bag (25 oz) square-shaped cheese ravioli (frozen)
- 1 bag (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook beef: In a medium skillet, crumble and brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
- Set aside sauce: Reserve 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce. Add remaining sauce to the beef, stir, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
- Prepare dish: Spread 1/4 cup reserved sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Layer 1: Add 1/3 of the frozen ravioli. Top with half the beef mixture and 1/3 of the mozzarella.
- Layer 2: Add another 1/3 of the ravioli, the remaining beef mixture, and another 1/3 of the mozzarella.
- Top layer: Add final 1/3 of ravioli. Top with remaining 1/2 cup reserved sauce and final 1/3 of mozzarella.
- Bake 30–40 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tip: For extra flavor, add fresh dill or tarragon. Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut!
