Ingredients:
2 slices bread
1 1/2 lbs beef or 1 1/2 lbs turkey
1/4 cup chopped onions (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) jars spaghetti sauce
Directions:
Soak bread in water and squeeze to remove excess water; tear into small pieces and set aside.
In a skillet, cook the meat, onion, garlic, salt and pepper until meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender; drain.
Stir in the bread and cheeses; mix well.
Spoon into manicotti shells.
Pour half of the spaghetti sauce into a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.
Arrange shells over sauce and top with remaining sauce.
Cover and bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
(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).
Enjoy!
