Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 package (about 9–10 oz) cheese ravioli
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in chopped onions and garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add Sauce and Seasonings: Pour in marinara sauce and sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the mixture. Stir well and let it simmer gently to let flavors meld while you prepare the ravioli.
  3. Incorporate the Ravioli: Add cheese ravioli straight from the package into the skillet. Stir carefully to coat the ravioli with sauce and beef. Cover the skillet with a lid, cooking for about 4–5 minutes until the ravioli are tender and heated through.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top evenly. Cover and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt into a creamy, golden topping.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then scoop onto plates and enjoy your comforting, cheesy, savory skillet meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like basil or parsley to garnish for a bright contrast to rich flavors.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; ensure ravioli has space to cook evenly without sticking.
  • Choose quality cheese for richer flavor and better texture.
  • Cover while melting cheese to trap steam and prevent drying out the dish.
  • Let it rest a couple minutes off heat before serving to let flavors fully develop.
