Beef-Stuffed Manicotti

Jackie #6's Note:

Most manicotti recipes are made with cheese. My family has always enjoyed this one, because it's stuffed with meat.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 7

• 1 (8 ounce) package manicotti
• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 1 egg, beaten
• 8 ounces grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 3 slices bread, cubed
• 3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (26 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce
• grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef & drain.
2. Cook manicotti using package directions.
3. Do not drain. Run cold water over it until water in pan is cold; leave manicotti in water until needed.
4. Meanwhile, combine ground beef, egg, mozzarella, bread, milk, salt & pepper. Stuff each manicotti shell. Place in greased 13x9x2" baking pan. Pour spaghetti sauce over top, cover with foil & bake in 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. (1 hour if made ahead & chilled.).
5. Pass grated parmesan cheese when serving.

I love this recipe! I lost it a long time ago and it's nice to see that someone else has it here! Now I can once again enjoy manicotti.
