LAZY BEEF LASAGNA

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (90% to 96% lean)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (26 ounces) jar prepared pasta or marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 (20 to 25 ounce) package refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Brown ground beef with garlic in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking up into small crumbles. Pour off drippings.

Stir in salt, nutmeg and pepper; mix well. Stir in pasta sauce and water; bring to a boil. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Layer ravioli, beef sauce and cheese, 1/2 at a time, in 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish; cover with aluminum foil. Bake in 400°F oven 15 minutes (20 minutes if using frozen ravioli). Uncover; continue baking 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and pasta is tender.

Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
