- Meanwhile, Preheat the oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Spread the marinara sauce in an even layer on the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking up the beef with your spoon as you go along (about 8 minutes).
