- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 jar marinara sauce 25 ounce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F(200°C). Lightly grease a shallow casserole dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions, breaking up the pieces as it cooks, until browned. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Add the garlic and sauté for just 30 seconds, until aromatic.
