Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara or pasta sauce
  • 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat if needed, then add marinara sauce. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Prepare Creamy Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta (or cottage cheese), sour cream, 1 cup mozzarella, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth.
  • Layer the Casserole: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Spread the creamy cheese mixture over the ravioli. Top with half of the remaining meat sauce. Add the rest of the frozen ravioli in a layer, then top with the remaining meat sauce.
  • Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Let the casserole sit for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs in the cheese mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
