Crush the Ritz crackers into fine crumbs so they blend smoothly into the beef and release their buttery flavor. If you want a stronger herb taste, press a light extra sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top of the marinara before baking. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat with a spoonful of extra marinara to keep the slices from drying out.
