- 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat and set aside.

- Repeat the Layers: Add more sauce on top of the cheese and repeat the layering with ravioli, ground beef, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Ensure the top layer has sauce and a final layer of cheese.
- Cook: Cover and cook on High for 2 hours or Low for 4 hours, until ravioli is heated through and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve immediately and enjoy!

- Cheesy Delight: For an extra creamy texture, add ricotta or provolone cheese to the layers.
