- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Layer half of the provolone cheese slices on the bottom of the baking dish, ensuring they cover the surface evenly.
- Spread the ricotta cheese mixture over the provolone cheese layer, creating a creamy filling for the mock ravioli.
- Carefully spoon the beef and marinara mixture over the ricotta cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
- Layer the remaining provolone cheese slices over the beef and marinara mixture, creating a cheese “top crust” for the mock ravioli.
