Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
• In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
• Add the marinara sauce and crushed tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, sour cream, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  Place half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the meat sauce.
• Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the ravioli.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta mixture.
• Add another layer of meat sauce over the mozzarella cheese.
• Place the remaining ravioli in a single layer over the meat sauce.
• Top with the remaining meat sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the top.
• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• Enjoy!
