Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min.

Ingredients

14 uncooked manicotti shells
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3/4 pound ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook manicotti shells according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the sausage, beef and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Remove from the heat. Cool for 10 minutes.
Drain shells and rinse in cold water. Stir the mozzarella, cream cheese and salt into the meat mixture. Spread 2 cups spaghetti sauce in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Stuff each shell with about 1/4 cupful meat mixture; arrange over sauce. Pour remaining sauce over top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly and heated through. Yield: 7 servings.
