The house always smells so good when I cook this ‘Million Dollar’ meal. It’s an absolute winner!

This Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole is a heartwarming dish that brings together the best of lasagna and ravioli into a single, delicious family meal. The origins of this dish come from the Midwest, where casseroles are a staple in many homes. It’s called ‘million dollar’ because of its rich, creamy texture and luxurious taste that makes you feel like you’re dining on something truly special. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner, a potluck, or any gathering where you want to impress with minimal fuss.
This casserole pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad, perhaps dressed with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish. Garlic bread is also a must-have side, serving as a delicious vehicle to scoop up every last bit of sauce. Steamed or roasted vegetables, like broccoli or carrots, add a nice touch of color and crunch to your meal. For dessert, consider a light fruit salad or a batch of homemade cookies for a sweet finish.
