ingredients
- 2 slice bread
- 680.38 g beef or 680.38 g turkey
- 59.14 ml chopped onion (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2.46 ml salt
- 1.23 ml pepper
- 236.59 ml shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
- 118.29 ml parmesan cheese
- 14 manicotti, cooked and drained (8 oz)
- 850.48 g jar spaghetti sauce
directions
- Soak bread in water and squeeze to remove excess water; tear into small pieces and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the meat, onion, garlic, salt and pepper until meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender; drain.
- Stir in the bread and cheeses; mix well.
- Spoon into manicotti shells.
- Pour half of the spaghetti sauce into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
- Arrange shells over sauce and top with remaining sauce.
- Cover and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
- (You can also do this without cooking the manicotti first, but you'll need to add a little water to the sauce[about 1/2 cup] and about 1/2 hour to the baking time).
- Enjoy!

This is a easy to follow recipe but it didn't really say "wow" for us. I personally didn't like the texture of the cooked ground beef that was stuffed in the manicotti, I usually prefer something much smoother...perhaps next time I'll simply try it with only cheese with a meat sauce on top. However, it still tasted good,...will need some tweeking for our family though :) thanks!

I was in the mood for Italian and had a lot of ground beef, so I found this manicotti recipe. It turned out great! I halved the recipe since it was just me and my husband. Next time I'll probably add more mozzarella cheese to the filling since we're cheese lovers - we'll probably adding some mroe spices to the beef next time too. Still came out great, though!
