Baked Ravioli Lasagna

Baked Ravioli Lasagna

This Baked Ravioli Lasagna is my absolute favorite family dinner recipe right now.  Actually it’s also wonderful for entertaining! I recently hosted my daughter’s book club and served this to the kids and their moms. EVERYONE asked for the recipe! I wish I could take credit for it but it’s from KraftFoods.com. Click the link for their printable recipe. This is my version (with a few adjustments).

Ingredients
1 lb of ground beef, 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 can of corn, 1 jar of  spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 lbs of uncooked frozen cheese ravioli, 1 tub (8 oz) of soft cream cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

You’ll also need a 9 x 13 baking dish and some non-stick cooking spray.

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray and brown the meat with the onion, carrots, garlic and corn.

2.  Mix in the spaghetti sauce and the water and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non stick cooking spray.

4. It’s time to layer it! Start with a layer of the meat mixture. Then add half the frozen ravioli.
