Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
  • 2 cups lightly packed fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup pitted ripe olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cooking:

  1. Cook ravioli according to package directions; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat deep 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. 
    3. Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground beef doneness.
  3. Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in ravioli; simmer 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and olives; cook just until spinach is wilted. Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
