Ravioli Lasagna

Ravioli Lasagna

1 pkg. frozen cheese ravioli (I like the square kind =)
1 lb. ground beef
1 jar (26-28 oz.) favorite spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Brown the ground beef. In the bottom of the 8x11 in. pan spread about 1 c. of the spaghetti sauce. Put in one layer of frozen ravioli and cover with 1/2 of the meat and then 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat the layering with one cup sauce and remaining ravioli and ground beef. (sometimes I add more cheese here) Top with the remaining sauce and bake uncovered in 425 degree oven for 30-35 min. Top with the remaining cheese and continue to cook until the cheese is melted.
