Easy Cheesy Manicotti

My family loves stuffed manicotti but I don't make it often because it is time consuming and messy.

But.... I saw this recipe that may change all that.

Instead of making the cheese mixture for the filling, just use string cheese!! How easy is that!

It turned out pretty good. Definitely a time saver.

1 package manicotti

1 lb ground beef ( I used ground elk)

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 jar spaghetti sauce

14 single serving string cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Cook manicotti according to package directions. Meanwhile, brown the ground meat and onion. Add the spaghetti sauce to meat. Drain Manicotti and place one string cheese in each manicotti shell.

In a greased 9x11 baking dish, spread 1/2 of meat mixture. place stuffed manicotti in pan. Spoon remaining meat mixture over the manicotti.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes; covered.

Uncover and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for another 10 minutes.
