  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. Pour oil into the same skillet and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Return beef to the skillet. Pour in marinara sauce, mix to combine, and turn off heat.

  5. Mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and egg together in a bowl.

  6. Place meat mixture in an 8×8-inch oven-safe casserole dish. Spread cheese mixture over meat and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is golden brown and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving

Cook’s Note:

Use a good-quality marinara sauce, either homemade or no-sugar-added store-bought sauce.
