🧀 Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole – Cheesy, Dreamy Perfection! 🍝
This comforting casserole layers cheese-stuffed ravioli, rich marinara sauce, and gooey melted mozzarella for an easy, crowd-pleasing dish that feels like a million bucks! 💰✨
Ingredients:
1 lb frozen cheese ravioli
2 cups marinara sauce
1 lb ground beef or turkey (optional, for a meaty version)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Prepare the Meat (Optional):
In a skillet, cook ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce and set aside.
Layer the Casserole:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Arrange half of the ravioli in a single layer. Top with half of the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with the remaining ravioli, sauce, and cheeses.
Bake to Perfection:
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Pair with garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
💡 Pro Tip: Make it your own by adding spinach, mushrooms, or swapping in marinara for Alfredo sauce for a creamy twist! 🥬🍄
