How to Make Manicotti Sausage Cheese
- Brown 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings) in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled sausage with 15 oz ricotta cheese, 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, 4 oz grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup chopped black olives, and 1/2 cup chopped onion.
- Fill each manicotti shell generously with the sausage and cheese mixture. You may need to gently press the mixture in.
- Arrange the stuffed manicotti shells in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spread any remaining sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the shells.
- Pour 2 (24-ounce) cans of your favorite spaghetti sauce over the manicotti.
- Pour 1/2 cup of water around the edges of the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. This allows the shells to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
