Everybody loves lasagna. Nobody likes how much work it is to make lasagna from scratch. Solution - ravioli lasagna

This easy and delicious meal has become one of our favorite go-to meals. The most difficult part of making it is planning ahead at least 3 hours.

Ingredients:

• Frozen ravioli
• Pasta sauce of choice (I like Bertolli's Vodka Sauce)
• Grated cheese
• Ground beef

If you can't make this meal, you really shouldn't ever attempt cooking again. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and get out the other ingredients while it is cooking. Take out your trusty crock pot (one of my favorite things in the world). Pour a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Then add a layer of frozen raviolis. Then, go ahead and add layers of ground beef, sauce, cheese, and more raviolis as you see fit. For best results, finish it off with raviolis, then a little sauce, and then cheese on top. Select whatever cook time you want on your crock pot and then enjoy it when it's done.

One final piece of advice: like any pasta dish, this meal is only as good as the sauce. If you are going to spend a little extra money on better ingredients, spend it on the sauce... or make your own.

Normally he uses his hands. Not for this meal.

Do you have "go-to meals"? The ones that seem to always be good and always satisfy? Most people probably call them "comfort food" but I like to this think of them at "go-to meals" (probably because I love sports). Here's one of my favorite go-to meals. As you can see by the picture of Andersen above, it's a hit with the boys. Strangely, I have never been a fan of macaroni and cheese (or mashed potatoes or spaghetti, maybe one day I'll have a post about foods that everyone seems to like except for me), but I only really ever had the Kraft version, so I was very excited when I stumbled upon this recipe from Simply Recipes. It passes the two most important tests of a recipe - it's easy and it's really good. I have played around with it a little bit and it has never failed. I have tried it with ham (like the official recipe),which is great, and it's also good with hot dog in it, but like every other food, it's best with bacon. It's not the best macaroni and cheese in the world (that would be found at Wood Ranch), but it's amazing for how easy it is.
