A quick, easy and cheap dinner idea the entire family will love!

Pleasing everyone at dinner time isn’t easy, especially when you have picky kids. We all tend to like different things, which is why eating out is so much fun. However, I have found this meal to not only be the EASIEST dinner recipe I’ve ever made, but it’s always a hit.

You can customize it to your own liking using cheese, chicken or beef stuffed ravioli. You can also add meat or veggies like spinach to the layers if you want. I like to spice it up with a little red pepper and serve it with caesar salad.

Calling all busy moms! Do you have a family with picky eaters to feed? My kids love this baked ravioli lazy lasagna. This popular dinner recipe is basically a dump meal. Just layer frozen cheese ravioli with pasta sauce and cheese in a baking dish. You can't mess up this quick and easy dinner. It's vegetarian but you can also add ground beef or sausage to the sauce, as well as some healthy veggies to the layers if you'd like. Make it your way! It's super versatile.

If you end up with any leftovers, it’s the BEST surprise to find in the fridge for lunch the next day.
