{no boil} Manicotti

  Every night over on our facebook page, I do a ‘Daily Dinner Bell‘ post where I and a bunch of our readers leave a comment telling us what we had/are having for dinner.  This is SUCH a fun way to get new recipe ideas from other like-minded foodie friends.  A few days ago, a reader named Rayna Jordan commented that she had made her ‘No Boil Manicotti’ for dinner and it was one of their favorite recipes.  Well as soon as I saw her comment, I asked her for the recipe because this was right up my alley.  She was so sweet to type it up for us!  When I saw her recipe, it blew my mind!  You don’t even have to precook the meat.  You stuff the uncooked shells with uncooked meat and cheese, top it with sauce and bake it just like that.  Mind>Blown.

I immediately put this meal on our menu plan for the week and we gave it a try and let me just say that Ms. Rayna Jordan has made a ‘no boil’ manicotti believer out of me.  This was unreal!  Uncle Bee went back for seconds and may have wanted thirds if there had been any more left.  If you love Italian food, you HAVE to give this one a try!  I hope everyone tries this one!
