Directions
1. Cook the manicotti shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and allow to cool.

4. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
5. Carefully fill each manicotti shell with the beef and cheese mixture and place in the baking dish.
6. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
7. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
