Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a little olive oil.

Prepare the Meat Sauce:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Ricotta Mixture:

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Casserole:

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Arrange half of the ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.

Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the ravioli, followed by half of the remaining meat sauce.

Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and finish with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Bake:

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
