Method
 

Instruction Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for 6-8 minutes, then add the onion and garlic, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  2. Pour in the marinara sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese-filled ravioli according to package instructions for about 3-5 minutes. Drain using a colander.
  4. In a greased casserole dish, layer the beef mixture, followed by the ravioli and a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and garnish with basil before serving.
