This is an adopted recipe that I chose because I had made and loved this recipe. This recipe freezes great and is a great OAMC recipe. Original intro: I found this in a TOH magazine and fell in love with it! I have made a few changes to the original to suit our tastes better. I hope you'll like it, too! (Thanks cbw)
Ingredients:
2 slices bread
1 1/2 lbs beef or 1 1/2 lbs turkey
1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
14 manicotti, cooked and drained (8 oz)
1 (30 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
Directions:
1. Soak bread in water and squeeze to remove excess water; tear into small pieces and set aside.
2. In a skillet, cook the meat, onion, garlic, salt and pepper until meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender; drain.
3. Stir in the bread and cheeses; mix well.
4. Spoon into manicotti shells.
5. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
6. Arrange shells over sauce and top with remaining sauce.
7. Cover and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
8. (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).
9. Enjoy!
