Beefy Manicotti Recipe

  • 10 manicotti shells
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups Italian blend shredded cheese, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup white Zinfandel
  • 3 mushrooms, thinly sliced
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Place ground beef, onion and garlic in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until beef is evenly brown. Remove from heat. Mix in bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, egg and 1 cup shredded cheese. Spoon filling into manicotti shells.
  3. Combine tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, wine and mushrooms. Spoon sauce to cover the bottom of an 8×11 inch baking dish. Arrange filled manicotti in a single layer, and cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese.
  4. Cover, and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove cover, and bake 10 minutes.
