This was a lifesaver on a busy day when I didn’t know what to cook. My family loved it 🙂
I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it – Thank you so much for sharing!
Do you put the other half of the cheese on top at the end, or for the whole bake time?
Karen – Sorry for the confusion. I put the remaining shredded cheese on top of the casserole prior to covering it with foil and prior to baking it for the entire time. I have updated the recipe to make it more clear. Thank you!
This is easy to assemble and toss in the oven as soon as you get home OR, my favorite, assemble the night before and throw in the oven as soon as you get home! Another one that saves us from fast food!
Would this half to cook as long if the ravioli wasn’t frozen?
No, it wouldn’t need to cook as long if they are not frozen.
