Baked Ravioli with Savory Meat Sauce and Cheese

Ingredients

- 1 lb frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb turkey Italian sausage, casings removed
- 3 cups pasta sauce
- 2 cups shredded Italian style cheese blend
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Meat:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and turkey Italian sausage. Cook until evenly browned, breaking the meat apart with a spatula. This should take about PT10M
10 minutes.

3. Season the Meat:
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add the dried basil and oregano to the meat and mix well.

4. Mix with Sauce:
Pour the pasta sauce into the skillet, stirring to combine with the cooked meat. Let the mixture simmer for PT5M
5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Layer the Casserole:
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce. Arrange a single layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce. Pour half of the remaining meat sauce over the ravioli, followed by half of the shredded Italian style cheese. Repeat the layers again until all ingredients are used, ending with the cheese on top.

6. Bake the Dish:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for PT30M
30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional PT10M
10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

7. Serve:
Allow the baked ravioli to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional dried basil or fresh basil leaves if desired.
