Guest guest Posted May 28, 1999 Report Share Posted May 28, 1999 This is something I tried the other night, even my husband liked it! This is my first time posting, if I need help please let me know how to do this the right way thanks Tami <~ Stuffed Manicotti 1 1/2cup bean mixture (recipe to follow) 1 pkg cooked Manicotti 1 15 oz ricotta cheese fresh spinach- torn in pices spagetti sauce grated cheddar and jack cheese or mozzerella Mix bean mixture, ricotta cheese and torn up spinach in a bowl. Stuff cooked manicotti with above ingredients. Place in a casserole dish, cover with spagetti sauce and top with cheese. Cover with foil and bake 15 min at 350, take off foil and bake 5-10 min, until cheese is slightly browned. Serve warm. Bean Mixture 1 cup black beans 1 cup black eyed peas 1/2 cup lentils 6 cups water 2 cut up carrots 1 cut up onion 1 can corn spices to taste: salt and pepper bay leaves basil any thing else you like! wheat germ (optional) rolled oats In a Crockpot put all ingredients except wheat germ and rolled oats, cook on high for 4-5 hrs or until beans are cooked. Add in wheat germ and rolled oats until thick. Remove bay leaf. I let this cool and put 1-2 cups in ziplock sandwich bags and put in freezer, flat for individual meals. You can add brown sugar for a sweeter taste, I have done both and both are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
