let me tell you something funny about how I learned about this particular recipe. My husband's ex-wife gave me this recipe and showed me how to put it together. LOL. Usually when I tell people this I get a strange look. I don't care, I would get a good recipe from anyone,even an ex. Thanks for your comment.

This does sound so good...I will look forward to giving it a try. I was thinking while I was reading it that if you added spicy sausage with the hamburger, it would give it a nice kick. Don't mind me, I like food a bit on the spicy side. lol Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Have a great day!

You have a good point there. My hubby likes spicy as well. I might give it a try as well. You have also given me an ideal that maybe some peppers would do the trick as well. I hope that you like it. It is one of our favorite dishes.

kentucky "manicotti" in the italian food section?
hmmm... this recipe is billions years far from the italian food!
It seems simply a USA recipe...

That sounds really good. I love manicotti it is my husbands favorite Italian food. I make mine with no meat or just a little ground beef. I use a mixture of cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, mozerella and parmesan and an egg. I cover it with sauce as well and sprinkle mozerella and parmesan on the top and bake until the cheese melts. I actually added a little asiago once and it was really good.
