Instructions

- Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Pour the jar of pasta sauce into the skillet with the ground beef and stir well to to combine and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Next, arrange a single layer of fresh ravioli over the sauce.
- Spread another layer of meat sauce over the ravioli.
- Sprinkle a layer of grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add another layer of ravioli, followed by more meat sauce.

- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the ravioli is cooked through
- Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Instead of cooking beef, take another shortcut by using a meat-filled ravioli.
- Turn the oven to broil and cook the lasagna for about 5 minutes to brown the cheese on top for more texture and flavor.
