EASY BAKED RAVIOLI CASSEROLE
I'm really excited to be sharing another super easy supper recipe. This one only has 5 ingredients! And the bonus is that it's a pasta dish, so you know that any leftovers you have will be delicious when re-heated the next day. This casserole can even be made in advance and frozen for later use. 
VIDEO INCLUDED BELOW:
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS CASSEROLE:
- This recipe uses frozen ravioli! You don't even have to thaw it out first. How do you like that for convenient and easy? But you can use fresh ravioli if you prefer.
- Feel free to use ground Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
- Add in any vegetables that your family enjoys: mushrooms and green peppers are some that we enjoy!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 lb. ground beef
1 yellow onion, diced
1 (26 oz.) jar pasta sauce
1 (25 oz.) pkg. frozen cheese ravioli
1 ½ - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 yellow onion, diced
1 (26 oz.) jar pasta sauce
1 (25 oz.) pkg. frozen cheese ravioli
1 ½ - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY AND DELICIOUS RAVIOLI CASSEROLE:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble beef with diced onion. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425F degrees.
After beef is fully cooked, drain excess grease. Spray an 11x7 or 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray. Layer one cup of pasta sauce on the bottom of the dish. Then add half of the frozen ravioli.
Then add half of the beef mixture. Next add half the cheese.
Repeat layering with one cup pasta sauce, remaining ravioli and beef mixture.
Then add remaining pasta sauce and top with remaining cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil. I like to spray the inside of the aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray. This keeps it from sticking to the cheese as it bakes. Or you can use nonstick foil. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue to bake for another 8-10 minutes (until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.) Serve with some garlic bread and a nice crisp, green salad.
Enjoy!

What a great and easy family recipe! Sounds delicious! I know we'd eat it up!
This looks really good, and with all the varieties of ravioli and sauce you could make it a little different each time. (:
It looks mouthwatering with that thick layer of cheese topping!
Yummy! I make this a lot. My kids love this dish.
Is that ravioli from Walmart? I want to make this dish but have never purchased frozen ravioli so don't even know where to look.... thanks, Brandie!

Hey Sandra! It sure is! You will usually find it in the section where the frozen dumplings are. In my Walmart it's in the same aisle as the frozen pizza (but I know everywhere is different). Hope the helps! 🙂
This looks really yummy! Can't wait to try it out!
Love this easy dinner idea! My picky pasta queen would love it 🙂
What a GREAT quick & easy recipe for these FUN Summer days when you don't want to be stuck in the kitchen cooking!
I don't know why I never thought to do this, but I love this idea! Thanks!
my mouth is watering...
I make one similar to this called Ravioli Florentine. I use thawed, chopped & drained spinach between the layers along with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese with the mozzarella between the layers & on top. I use cheese ravioli thus making it vegetarian. This is a popular dish at our church potluck along with an easy to make dish for those nights where we want or need a vegetarian dish (i.e. Lent)
How many servings does this make? Wondering if I would need to double it or not. All the jarred sauces here are either 23 or 24 oz jars... seemed very small. Can't wait to try this! Thanks!
I would say a 23 oz. jar would be fine. It really just depends on how "saucy" you like your pasta. This serves 4-6 (once again, depending on your portion sizes). Hope that helps!
Have this in the oven baking right now! Have been wanting to try this, but had a difficult time finding frozen ravioli. I had an 11x7" dish...still looked very full - so I put it on a baking sheet just in case it overflows. Thanks for sharing recipes with us!
We made this tonight for dinner. It was super yummy! Hubby and I both had seconds!
Thanks for the great recipe, this is going in the recipe book!!
I was just wondering if this dish could be frozen?
Made this Sunday for the family, everyone raved about how good it was. I made 2; 12x9 pans and froze one after I baked it, so hope it turns out for next time. However if you make a larger dish, I suggest using more sauce, as 1 isn't enough IMHO. 🙂 It also only made 2 layers, but that was fine with us 🙂
This was easy and delicious. Thank you! I love your blog!

I can't believe how easy this was to make, and so tasty. I did used an 11" by 7" pan and I'm glad you said something about putting a baking sheet under just in case any sauce bubbles over, because even with that size pan it bubbled over on me. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! My whole family licked their plates clean. The best part was that it was so easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe!
I made this tonight. I used the leftover meat pasta sauce I made on Mon. night from your recipes too. I am so grateful to have come across your blog. Many recipes from here are a huge hit and in my regular rotation. 🙂
Yay! Y'all are so sweet. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how this turned out for you! I am so happy you enjoyed it!! ~Brandie
making this tonight ,, added mixed veggies so it's a complete meal !! thank you very much
I just made this last Sunday for dinner and it was FANTASTIC! I was a bit apprehensive at first, but boy was I wrong. It came together quickly, cooked perfectly. My only personal exception for this dish next time is I will use my own homemade marinara, since the jar sauce I choose was not my cup of tea. Besides that 10 stars, had plenty left over and it was wonderful the next night ! Thank you for sharing!
