One of my goals for 2026 is to sort through all the recipes I have laying around tucked into folders and notebooks as well as my gigantic Pinterest/food blog collection that hasn't been touched in years. I've been having quite a good time with it. I enjoy cooking but it can become a chore pretty easily and this has made it a lot more fun for me as I feel like I'm working on a project. Around here we've taken to calling it Recipe Thunderdome as all recipes have to be auditioned before earning their place in the final recipe binder.
*For context I'm a reasonably capable home cook but one who is often trying to multitask and who is pretty much completely self-taught. *
Today I'm Sharing: Disney's Baked Ravioli from Plain Chicken
Changes: I ended up cooking it about 5 minutes or so less than the called for time as the cheese was heading past golden and in 5 more minutes would have been burnt. If I make it again, I'll cover it with foil. Also, I used a full pound of ground beef instead of a beef and sausage mix as I don't love the flavor of sausage in this kind of dish. I drained the beef before adding the additional sauce ingredients.
Thoughts of Recipe Difficult: Not particularly difficult but it is time consuming as the sauce has to simmer for an hour and needed frequently stirring.
Cook Time: Prep time is maybe 10 minutes to get the sauce ready to simmer and another 5 or 10 to get the ravioli to cook. After than it bakes for about 20 minutes.
Served With: Green salad and garlic bread
Results: Pretty good and plenty of leftovers. I have another baked ravioli that I think I like a little better so I may need to do a head-to-head on these two.
Verdict: Survived! Pending the results of the head-to-head of course.
