Chili Manicotti

I haven't tried this yet but I hope to make it soon. The recipe calls for canned chili but this would be a nice way to use up left over homemade chili!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  manicotti
• 1  tablespoon  oil
• 2  tablespoons onions, chopped
• 1  garlic clove, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) can  beef  chili with beans
• 1  cup water
• 1  egg
• 3⁄4 cup cottage cheese
• 1  cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook manicotti shells as directed on package; drain.
2. Meanwhile, add oil to a large skillet and saute onion and garlic until tender. Stir in chili and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
3. In a small bowl combine egg, cottage cheese and cheddar cheese. Stuff into manicotti shells.
4. Spoon half the chili sauce into the bottom of a greased casserole dish. Place manicotti on top and cover with remaining sauce. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese (or your preference) and bake another 5 minutes.
