Lazy Lasagna or "Busy Mom's Lasagna"

Our family loves lasagna but I don’t make very often because I’ve always felt like it was so time consuming.  Well, I found this recipe last week on Pinterest and it’s my type of recipe.  It’s FAST, QUICK AND EASY and the boys all LOVED it.  I served it to their friends and it was a hit with them all too.  So, it’s a keeper for sure around here.  I added meat to mine as the original recipe didn’t call for any meat.
  • 1- 24 oz. jar Spaghetti sauce
  • 1/2 Pound Cooked Ground Pork or Beef
  • 1- 25 oz. bag Frozen Ravioli (I use the cheese stuffed kind)
  • 2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese (optional)
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Cook the ground meat.  Spread about 3/4 cup of your marinara sauce into the bottom of your baking dish. Then spread the cooked meat over the sauce.
Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.  Top with remaining sauce and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers starting with what's left of the frozen ravioli.  Finish by topping with the remainder of the sauce and mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan if you’d like.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove the foil and continue baking for about 15 more minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.

Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, and then serve alone or with garlic bread, salad, or veggies.  ENJOY!!!
