Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200°C) and lightly grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.

Add the garlic and onion powders, stir well, then take the skillet off the heat and set aside.

Step 4

Spread 1/3 of the sauce over the bottom of the baking dish, then add half of the frozen ravioli.

Step 5

Spread half of the cooked beef over the ravioli, followed by 1/2 cup of mozzarella.

Step 6

Repeat as follows: 1/3 of the sauce, the rest of the ravioli, the rest of the beef, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella.

Step 7

Top the dish with the last 1/3 of the sauce and the last 1/2 cup of cheese.

Step 8

Lightly spray some foil with cooking spray, then cover the dish.

Step 9

Bake for 40-45 minutes, remove the foil, then bake for another 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven, and add the basil if using.

Step 11

Serve after a resting period of about 15 minutes, and enjoy!
