Meat Manicotti

Nice and filling on a cold day like today.

1 8 oz pk. Manicotti shells
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese or 5 cheese blend
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 teas. Italian seasoning
1 32 oz. jar spaghetti sauce your fav.

Boil noodles per package instructions 8 to 10 minutes and drain and cool. Cook meat and drain. Combine meat, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese together. Spread a little of the spaghetti sauce in dish. Place mixture in a ziplock bag and clip the corner of bag and fill shells full and place in 9x13 baking dish on top of sauce.  Cover the stuffed shells with the rest of the mozzarella cheese and more Parmesan cheese and cover and bake 350 for 50 minutes.  I like these with a nice salad and a loaf of French bread. Yum..
