Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make this dreamy casserole:
- Frozen Cheese Ravioli (24 ounces)
These are the foundation of your casserole. I recommend using frozen ravioli to save time, but feel free to swap with fresh if you prefer! No need to boil them first—they’ll cook perfectly in the oven. - Ground Beef (1 pound)
Adds a savory, hearty layer to the dish. You could also use ground turkey or sausage for a twist. Pro tip: Drain any excess grease after cooking to avoid soggy layers. - Marinara Sauce (3 cups)
A rich, flavorful sauce ties everything together. Use your favorite store-bought brand or make a homemade marinara for extra flair. - Cream Cheese (8 ounces, softened)
This is the “million-dollar” secret! It adds an irresistible creaminess to the dish. Let it soften at room temperature for easier mixing. - Sour Cream (1 cup)
Another layer of creamy goodness to balance out the hearty marinara and cheese. - Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 cups)
This creates that iconic cheesy pull when you serve it. Pro tip: Shred your mozzarella from a block for the best melt. - Parmesan Cheese (½ cup, grated)
Adds a touch of sharpness and elevates the dish. - Italian Seasoning (1 teaspoon)
Enhances the flavor of the casserole with a delicious blend of herbs. - Chopped Parsley (optional)
For garnish—it adds a pop of color and freshness to the finished dish.
