Easy to Stuff Manacotti

I really love simple recipes. This one was pretty good, I will definitely be making this one again. Even the girls ate it, but of course I don't know many children who don't like pasta. You can even have your children help you stuff the cheese into the shells! I put this in the meat free category because during lent, I will be stuffing 2 cheese sticks inside & topping it with plain sauce. Serve with salad & cheesy bread & you are set to go!

Servings:6-8
Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) manicotti shells
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce
14 pieces string cheese
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions: Cook manicotti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Spread 1/3 of the meat sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Drain manicotti; stuff each shell with a piece of string cheese. Place over meat sauce; top with remaining sauce. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
