Lazy Lasagna from

MATERIALS

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 jar of spaghetti sauce approximately 24 ounces (may want to add more)
  • 1 bag of square-shaped cheese ravioli (25 ounces) (no need to thaw)
  • 1 bag of shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounce bag) Divided in thirds

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
  • In a medium skillet, crumble and brown the ground beef over medium heat until completely browned. Drain off the excess fat.
  • Reserve ¾ cup of the spaghetti sauce; set aside. Add the remaining spaghetti sauce to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir well then cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Spread ¼ cup of the reserved spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch glass baking dish. Arrange one third of the frozen ravioli in a single layer in the pan.
  • Top the ravioli in the pan with half of the ground beef mixture, then sprinkle ⅓ of the bag of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Place another ⅓ of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the meat sauce and cheese. Top with the rest of the meat sauce and another ⅓ bag of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the final ⅓ of the frozen ravioli on top of the casserole. Top with the remaining ½ cup of the spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake the casserole at 350F for 30-40 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and beginning to bubble around the edges.
