Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 yellow onion, diced
26-ounce jar pasta sauce
25-ounce package frozen cheese ravioli
1 ½ to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a 9x13 or 11x7-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and crumbled. Drain off any excess fat.
Spread 1 cup of pasta sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer half of the frozen ravioli on top of the sauce.
Add half of the cooked beef mixture on top of the ravioli. Then, sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Repeat the layers:
- Add the remaining 1 cup of pasta sauce.
- Layer the remaining ravioli.
- Add the remaining beef mixture.
- Top with the remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.

Notes: This casserole can easily be customized with your favorite pasta sauce or additional toppings. Adjust the amount of cheese to your liking!

Can I use frozen ravioli instead of fresh?
Yes, absolutely! Just layer the frozen ravioli directly into the casserole—no need to thaw or cook them first. They’ll cook perfectly while baking in the sauce.
Is it necessary to cook the ground beef before adding it to the casserole?
Yes, you’ll need to cook and crumble the beef with onions first. This step ensures the meat is fully cooked and enhances the flavors of the casserole.
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Definitely! Assemble the casserole, cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready, just pop it in the oven and bake as usual.
What type of pasta sauce should I use?
Go for a good-quality marinara or spaghetti sauce. Whether store-bought or homemade, pick one you enjoy—this is key to making the casserole flavorful!
Can I add veggies to this dish?
Yes, you can! Veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms work great. Just sauté any firm vegetables before adding them into the casserole to make sure they cook evenly.
