Speaking of TIME Management....Quick Recipe

Thought I would give a bonus to stressed-out girls that the family (especially hubby) will love. Here's a quick, easy, and really good idea for TONIGHT'S DINNER:

Special Ravioli

2 cans Ravioli (Chef Boyrdee or any brand, even generic)
1 cup (at least) shredded cheese (use anything you got!)
1 lb. ground beef (I suppose turkey or some veggie burger stuff would work, but...)
1/2 onion, diced

Spray the casserole dish. I use about a 2 qt. pan or dish. Brown the beef and throw in the onion and saute until the onion is soft. Put a layer of ravioli straight from the can in the casserole, then a layer of beef mixture, then a layer of cheese. Continue layering, ending with cheese last. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, or until everything is bubbly. For company, here's a really good recipe that just about like the one above:

Better Special Ravioli

Instead of the canned ravioli, use the fresh stuff from the grocer's refrigerator. I used 4-cheese and another package of chicken and basil for a church supper that everyone RAVED about.
Instead of any-old kind of cheese, use mozzarella.
Instead of ground beef, use ground sirloin.
Can't think of anything better than a diced onion, but hey, maybe Vidalia?
Cook the ravioli, brown the beef, add the onion, layer the casserole. Maybe use a better dish, too.
Don't worry...they will love it!

I think the fresh pasta would be better. Why don't you make some of your own and try that?
