How to Make Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole
Follow these simple steps to create this crowd-pleasing casserole:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once fully cooked, drain the grease and stir in the marinara sauce. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Start by spreading a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Layer half of the ravioli over the sauce, followed by half of the cream cheese mixture, then half of the mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat the layers—meat sauce, ravioli, creamy filling, and cheeses.
Step 5: Bake the Casserole
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes to set. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch, then serve and enjoy!
