Easy Manicotti - Yum!

The other day I posted about my being "published" in Gooseberry Patch's Harvest Home.  I was lucky enough to have them send me a free copy of the book and I was anxious to try out some of the recipes in it.

Yesterday, I gave the Easy Manicotti a try and it was f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s-!

Made with staples on hand: hamburger, onion, manicotti noddles, spaghetti sauce, string cheese, and shredded mozarella.  Oh boy.....it looks and smells like it's gonna be good!

After a quick 45 minutes or so, add a veggie and some crusty bread and presto!

EASY MANICOTTI

Brown 1# hamburger along with 1 diced onion

Add 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

Spoon half of the meat mixture in bottom of greased lasagna pan

Prepare 1 - 8 oz box manicotti according to pkg directions; drain

Put 1 cheese stick inside each manicotti shell and set atop meat mixture

Cover all with remaining meat mixture

Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

Uncover, top with 1 & 1/2 cups shredded mozarella and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly

Let stand 5 minutes and serve

Bon Appetit!

Wishing you happiness,

Jane
