Baked Beef Ravioli

I'm all for easy recipes that I can throw together quickly, but somewhere along the line, I find that if I just take a few more minutes and add a few more things, even something plain like frozen ravioli can turn into a delectable meal.

But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself and then let me know the verdict.

It it's anything like my family's they will be too busy smacking their lips and you won't get many coherent words other than some ooooohhhh and aaahhhhh's.
