Ingredients
Scale
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 (20-ounce) package fresh cheese ravioli, such as Buitoni or Rana
- 1 (40-ounce) jar marinara sauce, divided
- 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
- 1/2 pound mild Italian sausage, removed from casings if links
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside. Combine the uncooked ravioli with 1 cup of marinara sauce in a medium bowl and toss to coat.
- Make the meat sauce:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sausage to the hot pan to brown. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up the meat and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add 2 cups of marinara sauce. Stir to combine and set aside to cool while you make the cheese mixture.
- Make the cheese mixture:
- In another medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until mostly smooth, a few small lumps are ok.
- Layer the casserole:
- Pour the remaining cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange about a third of the sauced ravioli in a single layer on top of the sauce. Use a spatula to dollop the cheese mixture over the ravioli and then spread that into an even layer.
- Top the ricotta mixture with the remaining ravioli in as even a layer as possible—you will have some overlapping ravioli here. Add the meat and sauce mixture on top of the ravioli. If you have any leftover sauce, pour this over the final layer of meat. Sprinkle on the two cheeses.
- Bake:
- Bake covered with foil for 25 minutes. Remove the cover and bake until browned and bubbly, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. If your casserole doesn’t brown to your liking in this time, you can place it under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
