New Recipe: Creamy Ravioli and Meatball Casserole

January 20, 2017 by AllFreeCasseroleRecipes

This blog post comes to us from AllFreeCasseroleRecipes’ Featured Foodie Carole, author of the blog Toot Sweet 4 Two.

A few questions for you:

  • Have you ever come home after a busy day, just too tired to spend time in the kitchen getting a meal together for your family?
  • Do you come home and have to turnaround and be out the door quickly to take your child to practice and then come home too late to start a meal from scratch?
  • Or, you just had one of those days and crave a hardy, warm, comforting meal full of cheesy goodness?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, then this is the recipe for you! Creamy Ravioli and Meatball Casserole fills all of those requirements. With a few pre-made ingredients on-hand, this casserole comes together in minutes and then bakes in the oven while you prepare a side salad to round out the meal, set the table and watch the news! And, because it is so rich and creamy, you’ll have leftovers to pack for lunches or for dinner on another night when you just don’t have enough hours in the day.

Even though it is fast and easy, this recipe does require that you have a few ingredients on hand. Frozen meatballs and fresh ravioli from the deli section of your grocery store are the key ingredients, plus a sauce made from cream of chicken soup and a jar of Alfredo sauce and a few spices. Topped with pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, this casserole takes no time at all to prepare.

To make it even more decadent, add a couple of cans of sliced mushrooms and sprinkle the finished casserole with fresh basil. So easy, cheesy and delicious, Creamy Ravioli and Meatball Casserole is sure to become a family favorite for busy nights.
