  • Total Time: ≈ 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

25 oz (≈ 710 g) frozen cheese ravioli

1 lb (≈ 450 g) ground beef

3 × 15-oz (≈ 425 g each) cans crushed tomatoes

1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

1 Tbsp garlic salt

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (≈ 450 g)

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (≈ 55 g)

Instructions

1-Let’s dive into making this lazy day lasagna, where the steps are as straightforward as they get. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get everything ready for baking. This recipe uses a one-pan method, meaning less mess and more time to relax while it cooks.

2-Next, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink, then drain away any extra fat to keep things light. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt to create a flavorful sauce that ties everything together. Once that’s set aside, lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray for easy cleanup.

3-Now, layer in a single level of frozen cheese ravioli at the bottom of the dish. Spread half the meat sauce over it, then sprinkle on half the mozzarella cheese for that gooey melt. Add another layer of ravioli, the rest of the sauce, and the remaining mozzarella, finishing with the Parmesan on top.

4-Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, then remove the foil and bake an extra 10-15 minutes until the top turns golden-brown. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to get cleaner portions that’s a game-changer for serving.

Notes

🔄 Double all ingredients if feeding a larger crowd; the same pan works fine.
🧂 Spray the baking dish with non‑stick spray to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
❄️ Freeze the unbaked lasagna, covered tightly with foil, then thaw in the refrigerator for about an hour before baking for convenient make‑ahead meals.
