# Instructions:

Warm up the olive oil over medium-high in a big pan. Toss in the ground beef and cook it until it's browned nicely, then drain the grease. Stir in garlic and cook until it smells amazing, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle on the seasoning blend and salt, then pour in 2 cups of marinara and mix everything together.

Turn on your oven and preheat it to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 dish by spraying it down with non-stick spray. In a big bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and ricotta until smooth. Gently mix in the frozen ravioli to coat them completely with the creamy mixture.

Spread the ravioli in an even layer in the buttered dish. Pour the saucy meat mixture over the top, then sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly over it all. Wrap the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes to make the cheese bubbly and fantastic.
