Ingredients for Beef And Ravioli Bake

  • Frozen Chopped Spinach
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cheese Ravioli

How to Make Beef And Ravioli Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of ravioli according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  3. 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 is wilted.
  5. Spread half of the beef mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
  6. Layer the cooked ravioli over the beef mixture.
  7. Spoon the remaining beef mixture over the ravioli.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.

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!
