Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef extra lean
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 24 ounces marinara sauce 1 jar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 pound frozen ravioli beef or cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet and brown over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and Italian seasoning. Drain any excess grease, if needed.
- To the beef, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and heavy cream to the beef mixture. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors are well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Spread a layer of the creamy beef sauce on the bottom of the dish. Arrange a layer of frozen ravioli on top. Sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of sauce and cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
