Easy to Stuff Manicotti

• 1- 1/2 pound Ground Beef Or Turkey
• 1/2 whole Onion, Diced
• 1 clove Minced Garlic Or More To Taste
• Optional Spices, To Taste (black Pepper, Italian Seasoning, Montreal Steak Seasoning)
• 1 box Manicotti Shells (14 Shells)
• 1 jar Spaghetti/marinara Sauce Of Your Choice (24-25oz)
• 1 can Tomato Sauce (8 Oz)
• 14 pieces String Cheese (28g Each)
• 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Step 1: Over medium heat, brown meat with onion and garlic until browned (add spices to your preference, I add Montreal steak seasoning, pepper, Italian seasoning, etc).
3. Once browned, drain grease if necessary.
4. Step 2: Boil water for manicotti.
5. Step 3: Add the jar of marinara sauce to meat (add tomato sauce as well, if needed) and let simmer on low while your noodles cook.
6. Step 4: Cook manicotti according to package directions for 6 minutes- you want it to be very al dente so it doesnt fall apart as you stuff it.
7. Step 5: Place half of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
8. Step 6: Stuff each manicotti shell with a piece of string cheese and place it in pan on top of meat sauce in the pan.
9. Step 7: Cover the shells with remaining meat sauce and shredded mozzarella.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
