Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the marinara sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Arrange half of the frozen cheese ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
Top with half of the remaining meat sauce, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
