• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 24 oz can spaghetti sauce
• 11.5 oz can V8 vegetable juice
• 25 oz bag frozen cheese ravioli

• 1-2 teaspoons ground oregano 
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375° and lightly grease a 9×13" baking dish.

Meat mixture: In a large skillet, cook Italian sausage, beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is browned. Stir in spaghetti sauce and V8. Simmer for a couple of minutes until onions are tender. Add frozen raviolis and gently mix in.

Cheese mixture: In a separate large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese with eggs. Then add mozzarella, medium cheddar, and spices; stir to mix.
In a baking dish, spread half the meat mixture into the bottom, and top with half of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers using the other half of meat mixture and the other half of cheese mixture.
Lightly grease a piece of tin foil and cover tightly. Bake for 45 minutes, or until raviolis are tender. Uncover and broil for 4-5 minutes to brown the cheese as desired.
