This is one of the first dishes I made my husband and it is one of his favorites! So simple and delicious!

Categories     Beef

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box manicotti shells
1 lb ground chuck, cooked & drained
12 oz cottage cheese
2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 jar(s) spaghetti sauce, (i always use ragu traditional)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare shells by boiling in water. You want them to be mostly done, but still firm enough to handle for stuffing. I usually have a couple that split open on me, but there are still enough to fill a 9x12 casserole dish.
  • 2. Brown your meat, draining grease off. Add to this the cottage cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • 3. Spray your casserole dish with PAM. Stuff the shells with meat filling mixture and place in dish side by side filling up the entire dish. Spread any leftover filling over the top of the filled shells and sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheese on top.
  • 4. Bake at 350 for approximately 30-40 minutes.

This recipe is way too complicated. I'm not going to try it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my manicotti turned out dry and overcooked.

I had a hard time finding manicotti shells at my local grocery store.

The manicotti shells were a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll try using a different brand next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It turned out great!

I made this recipe ahead of time and froze it. It was just as good when I reheated it.

I added some chopped mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor.

I used whole wheat manicotti shells to make this recipe healthier. They turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The spinach flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other ingredients.

I made this recipe for my Italian grandmother, and she said it was the best manicotti she had ever eaten.

I loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The spinach, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses were perfectly balanced.

This baked manicotti recipe was a hit with my family! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta shells were perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
