When you taste this casserole, you'll think it came from a complicated, from-scratch recipe. Really, though, it starts with frozen ravioli and has only three other ingredients. —Patricia Smith, Asheboro, North Carolina

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 jar (28 ounces) spaghetti sauce
1 package (25 ounces) frozen sausage or cheese ravioli
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Minced fresh basil, optional

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. In a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish, layer a third of the spaghetti sauce, half of the ravioli and beef, and 1/2 cup cheese; repeat layers. Top with remaining sauce and cheese.
Cover and bake at 400° until heated through, 40-45 minutes. If desired, top with basil to serve.

This was very good and VERY easy. I did substitute Italian sausage as many suggested and I agree that the finished product would have been way too bland with just ground beef. My only "thought" on this recipe is that ravioli pasta is much thicker than sheets of lasagna so add more meat and cheese to compensate.

I made this over 20 years ago for my kids. I would put the ravioli in individual ramekins and freeze. When they got home from school just take a ramekin from the freezer and bake. Great little pick-pick-me-up before after school activities began. This is also good with cheese ravioli, leftover chicken, and alfredo sauce.

I didn’t really care for this, but I am also not a big tomato sauce fan. It certainly didn’t live up to its’ hype. I used half ground beef and half sausage, with cheese ravioli. I might try it again with extra cheeses and spices, but then again, I might not bother.

This recipe is so inspiring and easy, you don't even need to boil the ravioli, just bake as the recipe directs. I make my own sauce but any favorite will do. Try pepperoni and prepared pizza sauce for a meal the kids will love. It's one of those quick, can't fail, everyone loves recipes.

This was really good, and simple! I made this camping (oven in trailer), and I don't normally do anything too complex due to size/room constraints. Will definitely make again, but will use Italian sausage instead of hamburger.

I have no idea how a recipe with so few ingredients tastes so good! And it's so easy too! Absolutely delicious! I used an Italian sausage ravioli to give it a little extra kick.

Dish is good, just wish I would have added more meat and sauce to the dish. A pound is just not enough for this dish in my opinion. Also next time I may add sausage to it as well.

A good and fast dish to make. I took it to church for a fast meal and it was well received. Will make again.
