Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion; cook until beef is browned and onion is tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir in garlic, marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and half of the remaining meat sauce.
  6. Arrange the remaining ravioli over the meat sauce. Top with the remaining meat sauce, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can add a layer of ricotta cheese for extra creaminess.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • This recipe can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
