Okay, this may not be a family heirloom recipe, considering I just heard of it a couple of weeks ago, but it is definitely a family favorite.  It got raving reviews from all four family members, plus meets my requirement of easy to have on hand ingredients and really easy to prepare. 

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• salt, pepper, minced garlic, minced onion and Italian seasoning to taste
• Family size bag of frozen cheese ravioli
• jar of spaghetti sauce
• 1-2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions

• Brown the ground beef with the seasonings, drain the fat.  In a 9×13 inch baking dish, place a layer of spaghetti sauce, then place the frozen ravioli in a single layer on the top of the sauce, add a layer of the meat, then the cheese.  Repeat layers ending with cheese on top.   Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes covered, then another 10 minuted uncovered.

Notes

• This also freezes well prior to cooking.  Add extra cooking time if frozen.
