Easy-to-Stuff Manicotti

The challenge to publish a recipe each day for the month of April continues. So far so good! I have had a couple of close calls, but managed to pull through.


I love manicotti, but have never liked the mess...then I found this very SIMPLE recipe!


Easy-to-Stuff Manicotti


1 pkg. (8 oz.) manicotti shells

1 pound ground beef

1/2 chopped onion

1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce

14 pieces string cheese

1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese


Cook manicotti according to package directions. Meanwhile in large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Spread 1/2 of the meat sauce into a greased 13x9 pan.


Drain manicotti; stuff each shell with a piece of string cheese. Place over meat sauce, top with remaining sauce. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.


Yum! I enjoy this dish with a tossed salad and thick pieces of garlic bread....


Thanks for visiting with us!
