| Baked Cheese Ravioli, Garden salad with Ranch dressing, and Garlic Bread |
What you need: Frozen cheese ravioli, a jar of pasta sauce, a pound of ground beef, Parmesan cheese, a bag of salad, carrots, grape tomatoes, cucumber, and garlic bread.
The Prep: Okay, boil water. Once its boiling dump in the frozen ravioli, once it comes back to a boil boil the ravioli for 4-7 minutes. While you are doing that brown the ground beef, drain off the grease, and mix in the pasta sauce. Drain the ravioli and mix it in with the sauce and beef. Use cooking spray on a baking dish, put the ravioli in the dish and top with Parmesan cheese, stick in the oven. 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Mix the salad, tomatoes, carrots, and sliced cucumber together and toss with your favorite dressing. Cook garlic bread according to directions. So 10-15 minutes for everything leading up to baking the ravioli, 20 minutes for the actual baking (including the tossing of the salad, and cooking of the garlic bread). So it takes about 35-40 minutes to make dinner.
The Cost Breakdown:
Ravioli: $4.99
Pasta sauce: $1.69
Ground beef 1 lb.: $3.48
Salad: $2.99
Carrots: $1.50
Tomatoes: $3.99
Cucumber: $0.99

not included in the cost was the salad dressing

The Verdict: Warm, yummy, and very easy to put together. I enjoyed it, it made me think of eating Chef Boyrdee Ravioli when I was little. One of my favorite foods was that ravioli so it was a nice memory (by the way the ravioli I made was better than the canned stuff). Erik enjoyed the dinner as well which was very nice indeed. Dinner for tonight is in the crockpot now so tune in tomorrow to see what it is!
