Equipment

1 Baking dish, 9x13
1 large skillet
1 Spatula

Ingredients

1 bag 20 oz. Cheese stuffed ravioli refrigerated or frozen
1 jar 24 oz. Spaghetti sauce
16 oz. Shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 lb. Ground beef (Optional)

Instructions

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Scoop a small amount of the meat sauce into the bottom of the baking dish. Spread to cover the bottom.
Top the meat sauce with the ravioli to cover the entire bottom of the baking dish. Do not stack them. Lay them side by side. You should be able to get about 4 per row.
You can add a thin layer of mozzarella cheese now if you like. Be sure you have enough cheese for the topping.
Now, top the ravioli with more of the meat sauce. Spread to cover. Follow that with more rows of ravioli, then meat sauce. Finally, top with mozzarella.
Bake, covered with foil, at 375° for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil. Return to the oven until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven. Let it set on the counter for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Substitute ground sausage for the ground beef if your family enjoys a little flavor kick. You could even use a 1/2 pound of each if you like. I have also used ground turkey.

If using frozen ravioli, increase the baking time by about 15 minutes.

Substitute marinara sauce for the spaghetti sauce.

Spray your aluminum foil with nonstick spray before covering to bake. That will keep the cheese from sticking to the foil.
