Description
This baked ravioli recipe has cheese ravioli, ground beef, marinara sauce, and melty parmesan and mozzarella. It’s so simple to make and is total comfort food!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and 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: Preheat the oven to 350F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Prep the cheeses.
- Sauté: Add the oil and onion to a skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Brown Meat: Add in the ground beef and garlic. Cook it, breaking the beef up with your spoon 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.
- Combine Sauce: Add 2 cups of the marinara sauce to the ground beef mixture (give it a good stir and let it heat through).
- Prepare Dish: Pour the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce into a greased 9×13 baking dish (spread it evenly along the bottom).
- Layer: 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.
- Bake and Broil: 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.
Notes
Used refrigerated cheese & spinach ravioli. If using frozen ravioli, increase cook time by 10-15 minutes as needed. The amount of ravioli can be slightly adjusted to fit your dish.
