Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon or meat chopper. Drain off any excess grease.
3
Season the cooked beef with garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and seasoned salt to your liking.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the refrigerated ravioli, marinara sauce, water, 1 cup of the Italian cheese blend, and the seasoned ground beef.
5
Stir everything together until the ravioli is evenly coated.
6
Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the ravioli mixture into the dish and spread it into an even layer.
7
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Italian cheese blend over the top.
8
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
9
Bake for 35 minutes.
10
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
11
Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Brown the ground beef thoroughly and drain excess fat before layering to avoid a greasy casserole.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the Italian cheese blend to sprinkle on top in the last few minutes of baking for even, appetizing browning.
Mix the marinara sauce with water before adding to the pan—this prevents the ravioli from drying out during baking.
Use cooking spray on the baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Substitutions

Four-cheese ravioli → meat ravioli or spinach ravioli (adjust marinara quantity if using meat)
Ground beef → ground Italian sausage or ground turkey (sausage adds richer flavor)
Italian cheese blend → mozzarella and Parmesan mix (use equal amounts)
Marinara sauce → Alfredo sauce or vodka sauce (changes flavor profile but works well)
