I thought this was a really great dish! Instead of being spiced up, it's just simple ingredients that go great together! It doesn't take as long to prepare as I thought, but I may toss it all with rotini next time like a casserole to make it even faster. My box of manicotti had 14, so I just made them all instead of having 4 leftover. I had enough mixture to loosely fill them all, but I could have used more cheese sauce. It's not fine cuisine, but it's a great family dish and very kid-friendly!

This was pretty good...there was just a texture thing that we did not care for. I don't know what it was. The kids liked it ok too.

Thanks Pamela! I added a couple drops of tabasco sauce to the cheese sauce. Really yummy. A different pasta dinner without all the tomato sauce. We will make this again.

This was very good. I used a combination of cheddar and monterey jack for the filling because I thought cheddar alone would be too strong for us. It was good with the swiss but I might try it with a different cheese sauce next time just to compare. Everyone enjoyed this, thank you Pamela!
