An easy faux Lasagna dinner layering frozen ravioli, jarred marinara sauce, ground beef, and mozzarella cheese.
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 jar marinara sauce
- 25 oz frozen ravioli
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
- Set aside 3/4 cup of marinara sauce. Add the remaining sauce to the beef in the skillet and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the reserved sauce in the bottom of a 9×13″ glass or ceramic baking dish. Arrange one third (about 15 pieces) of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
- Top the ravioli layer with one half of the ground beef and sauce mixture. Then sprinkle with 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Place another 1/3 of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the meat sauce and cheese. Top with the remaining meat sauce and another 1/3 cup of the shredded cheese.
- Place the final 1/3 of the frozen ravioli on top, followed by the remaining plain marinara sauce and sprinkle with 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges begin to bubble.
Notes
If stuck together, run frozen ravioli pieces under warm water for a minute to loosen and pry apart.
If you do not have an equal number of ravioli for each layer, put the fewest pieces in the center. For example, 15 ravioli on the bottom layer, 12 in the middle layer, and 15 on the top layer.
