Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 T Italian seasoning
  • .5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup water
  • 20 oz refrigerated cheese ravioli (family size, I like this brand)
  • 2 cup mozzarella cheese freshly shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1lb of lean ground beef until browned. Use this handy tool to help break up meat while it cooks. Drain excess fat. Tip: Because it's difficult to lift my heavy skillet, I transfer meat to a paper towel to soak up the extra grease, the use a separate paper towel to wipe grease from skillet.
    Stir in 1 (15 oz) can of tomato sauce, 1 (15 oz) can of crushed tomatoes (do not drain), 1 can tomato paste, 1 T Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 T sugar, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 c water. Let simmer for about 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
  • Gently nestle the entire package of ravioli into the sauce, ensuring they're mostly submerged. No need to boil beforehand.
  • Let simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until ravioli are tender.
  • Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella over the top. Tip: I always recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding if yourself as pre-shredded cheese comes covered in an anti-clumping agent which also prevents cheese from melting well. I love this attachment for my stand mixer that shreds a block of cheese in seconds, or this handy countertop version.
  • Transfer the entire skillet into oven and bake for approx 5 mins, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Scoop from the skillet onto plates and serve hot.

Notes
