Ingredients

16 ounces ground beef
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
24 ounces marinara sauce
24 ounces uncooked ravioli frozen or refrigerated
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x13 (3-quart) casserole dish.
In a sauté pan over medium heat, crumble ground beef and cook until browned. Remove from heat. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and marinara sauce, stirring until incorporated.
Spread about 1 cup of your sauce into the bottom of your prepared casserole dish. Add half of your ravioli in a single layer. Top with half of your remaining sauce and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat once more with another layer of remaining ravioli, remaining sauce, and remaining mozzarella cheese. Top with parmesan cheese.
Frozen ravioli: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until hot and bubbling in the center and cheese is melted.
Refrigerated ravioli: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-10 minutes, or until hot and bubbling in the center and cheese is melted.
Allow casserole to set for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

To prepare as a freezer meal - assemble as directed but before baking, cover with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Transfer to the refrigerator to thaw overnight, then bake as directed. Or, bake from frozen and add an additional 10-15 minutes to bake time, or until pasta is cooked through in the center.
Leftovers will keep for 3-5 days in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container.
