Report
This String Cheese Manicotti is stuffed with string cheese for a super easy weeknight meal. My kids loved it!

Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) manicotti shells
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 /2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce
- 12 pieces string cheese
- 1½ cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- grated Parmesan cheese
- (optional) basil, chopped
Instructions
- Cook manicotti according to package directions in salted water.
- While pasta is cooking, cook beef and onion over medium heat in a large skillet until meat is no longer pink; add garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Drain meat. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Spread half of the meat sauce into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Drain manicotti. Stuff each shell with a piece of string cheese. You could even use 2 pieces of string cheese but we thought one was plenty once it melted. Arrange manicotti over meat sauce. Place over meat sauce; top with remaining sauce. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
- Uncover and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and garnish with basil if desired.
