Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces ravioli (cheese-filled)
- 0.5 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1.5 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cups black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cups sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef in spices.
Add the black beans and corn to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir to combine, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the cheese-filled ravioli according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom.
Layer the cooked ravioli in the dish. Top with the beef mixture, spreading it out evenly. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the beef and ravioli.
Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling.
