Ingredients for Baked Beef And Ravioli

How to Make Baked Beef And Ravioli

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 (14-ounce) package of ravioli according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  3. While ravioli cooks, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce and 5 ounces of fresh spinach (chopped). Cook until spinach wilts.
  5. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Spoon half of the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Arrange the cooked ravioli evenly over the beef layer.
  8. Spoon the remaining beef mixture over the ravioli.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes.
  11. Remove foil, sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  12. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
