"When a girlfriend came home from the hospital with her newborn, I sent over this freezer casserole," recalls Jamie Valocchi, Mesa, Arizona. "She and her family raved over how good it was. Try substituting olives for mushrooms or using veal instead of chicken," she suggests.

I had a blast making this!  I decided to shred the chicken, and I used olives on all of it and mushrooms on half. It turned out great- my 3yr. old loved it!!!!!

The recipe says uncooked Manicotti shells. I overlooked it at first also.

do you cook the manicotti before stuffing with chicken, or use uncooked

Dry ingredient measurements are not the same as liquid measurements, therefore 4 ounces of shredded cheese is equal to 1 cup, thus 16 ounces is equal to 4 cups.

I have a question about the ingredients listed:
"4 cups (16 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese"


Isn't 4 cups equal to 32 ounces, not 16 ounces?


So should I use 16 or 32 ounces of shredded cheese?


Thanks!
