We had this for lunch on Sunday. The pastor that married us and his wife came over for lunch. We had SUCH a good time talking and reminiscing and the kids loved them too. So this recipe is from the Jan/Feb 2010 Simple & Delicious. It's supposed to be made with ground turkey, but I already had ground beef in the freezer so that's what I made it with. So so good.
Three-Cheese Manicotti
12 uncooked manicotti shells (these came in a box of 14, so I made 14)
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1 jar (26 oz) three-cheese spaghetti sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
1 carton (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 egg
Cook manicotti according to pkg directions. Meanwhile, in large skillet, cook meat and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, sugar, Italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder. Place 1 cup meat sauce into a greased 13x9 baking dish. Drain manicotti. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese, and the egg. Stuff into manicotti shells (this was harder than I thought. Steve said he was suprised that Pampered Chef hadn't come up with a tool for that yet...maybe they have one that I am not aware of). Place shells over meat sauce. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese. Cover and bake @ 350 for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. 6 servings.
This was really very yummy. We had it with garlic bread and salad. Well, I didn't have much salad, but others did. Definitely another keeper, so so good!!

You should have put the mixture in a ziplock back and cut a hole in the corner of the bag this would make it like a frosting piping bag.
