A delightful twist on traditional lasagna, this Cheesy Ravioli Bake combines layers of ravioli, savory meat sauce, and gooey cheese for a comforting and easy-to-make dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat.
Cooking the onion with the beef enhances the flavor of the meat.
Spread a layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a greased baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Layer half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Using frozen ravioli saves time and adds convenience.
Repeat the layers with the remaining sauce, ravioli, beef mixture, and cheese.
Ensure even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Removing the foil allows the cheese to brown beautifully.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Ravioli Bake!
Letting it rest helps the layers set for easier serving.
