Easy Baked Ravioli - 😋 Simple Comfort Food (Don’t Forget a Salad and Garlic Bread) 😋
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6
🛒 Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/2 medium onion chopped
* 1 pound extra lean ground beef
* 3-4 cloves garlic minced
* Salt & pepper to taste
* 3 cups marinara sauce (one 24 oz. jar) divided
* 20 ounces uncooked cheese ravioli
* 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
📖 Instructions:
* Preheat the oven to 350F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Prep the cheeses.
* Add the oil and onion to a skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat.
* Add in the ground beef and garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat as you go along, until it's browned and cooked through (about 8 minutes). If there's a lot of excess fat, spoon it out. Season with a bit of salt & pepper.
* Add 2 cups of the marinara sauce to the ground beef mixture (give it a good stir and let it heat through).
* Pour the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce into a greased 9x13 baking dish (spread it evenly along the bottom).
* Add half the ravioli to the baking dish (some overlap is totally fine, but try to arrange it in a fairly even layer), then add half the beef mixture followed by half of each of the cheeses. Repeat this process so you've got 2 layers and it's finished with the layer of cheese on top.
* Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Take the foil off and broil for a few minutes so you've got a nice, bubbly, browned cheese layer, then serve immediately.
