Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 jar (28 ounces) spaghetti sauce
- 1 package (25 ounces) frozen sausage or cheese ravioli
- 1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil, optional
Method
- In a large skillet, cook and crumble ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Editor's Tip: Read our guide to how to brown ground beef if you want a refresher on the best way to do it, including how much grease to drain, and how to drain it.
- Spread one-third of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a greased 2-1/2-quart baking dish. Make sure the sauce fully covers the bottom of the dish. Take half of the frozen ravioli, and sprinkle them evenly over the sauce. (No need to lay them out flat.) Sprinkle half of the cooked beef on top of the ravioli. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top.
- Repeat the first layer: Add another one-third of the spaghetti sauce, the remaining half of the frozen ravioli, the rest of the cooked beef, and another 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Gently spread the remaining spaghetti sauce on top. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese as well.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake at 400°F for 40 to 45 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with strips of fresh basil before serving.
