I don’t know, it was kinda bland. Might need more spices or something. Not bad tho.
I totally get what you mean! I added a bit of red pepper flakes and it made a big difference. Give it a shot next time!
I thought ravioli were supposed to be boiled first? Just throwing them in raw seems weird.
This casserole is so easy to make! My kids loved it! Will make again for sure.
Just made this and I can’t believe how yummy it is! I added some veggies and it turned out great!
Made it last night but forgot the parmesan cheese 🤦♀️. Still turned out good tho. Just not cheezy enough.
This casserole is delicious! My family loved it, especially the cheese on top.
I totally agree! The cheese makes everything better. Can’t wait to try this myself!
Looks good but how do you know it’s really delicious? Just because your family liked it doesn’t mean everyone will!
I thought it was just ok. The meatballs didn’t hold together well for me. Might try another recipe next time.
Meatballs are for italian not beef! Should use turkey or chicken meat! 🙄
Way too much cheese for my taste! It was dripping everywhere. yuck. Not making again.
yum! I’m so excited to try this. Love ravioli and meatballs! 😍
