Steps/How to Make
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook hamburger along with onion and seasonings of choice until browned; drain and return to pot. Add in spaghetti sauce and set aside.
In a large bowl combine ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg and all seasonings until well combined.
Place in a gallon size ziplock bag and snip a corner off the bottom to make a piping bag.
Grease a 9x13 baking dish and place half of the meat mixture in the bottom, spreading evenly.
Pipe the ricotta mixture into the Manicotti tubes one at a time and place on top of meat mixture. You will repeat this process until you are out of ricotta. I usually end up between 10 and 12.
Top with remaining meat mixture.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove foil, top with cheeses and return to oven for additional 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Enjoy!
