MANICOTTI 1 to 1 1/2 lb. ground beef 1 lb. Ricotta or cottage cheese 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/8 to 1/4 c. milk 1 to 2 slices bread, crumbled 1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded Mozzarella cheese 1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded Cheddar cheese (optional) 1 1/2 to 2 large jars spaghetti sauce 1 box manicotti tubes Brown ground beef and season to taste with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic salt and crushed red pepper; drain. Mix in large bowl with Ricotta, 1/3 package of Cheddar cheese (or Mozzarella) and bread crumbs soaked in egg-milk mixture. Parboil manicotti 3 to 5 minutes. Soak parboiled manicotti in cold water and place on wax paper (this makes it easier to handle and keeps it from sticking). Stuff manicotti with meat filling and place in oblong glass baking dish. Spread leftover meat mixture over stuffed manicotti. Pour in enough spaghetti sauce to cover manicotti and sprinkle top with cheese. Bake in 350 degrees oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Note: For variety, use jumbo shells instead of tubes.
