Mexican Manicotti

Yummmm!! This recipe makes 14 manicotti shells. Cooking for 2, I personally only fill 7 shells and use the rest of the ingredients to make a hot 5 layer dip. Good size for a family, though!

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 clove minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1-1/2 (24oz) medium picante sauce
1 (16oz) can refried beans
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 (8oz) package manicotti shells (uncooked)
1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend
Sour cream for topping


Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

Brown ground beef in large skillet with garlic, salt, and pepper. Drain and return to skillet.

Coat the bottom of the casserole dish with a thin layer of picante sauce.

Stir refried beans, oregano, and cumin into the ground beef until mixed evenly.

Once mixed, spoon the mixture into the uncooked manicotti shells and place in casserole dish. Cover with remaining picante sauce.

Bake about 40 minutes until shells are cooked.

Top with cheese and sour cream and serve.
