Alright, my students and I worked on this recipe today. I am sure there are tons of variations out there for this, but this is mainly based off a Betty Crocker recipe, but tweaked a bit. It was amazing! So proud of my kids for being brave and trying something new! Like most of the recipes I make it can be very versatile. Use...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- 2. Soak manicotti in really hot water for 10-15 minutes. Drain well.
- 3. In a skillet, cook beef until browned. Add chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté until translucent. Add tomato paste, enchilada sauce, taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add additional water if too thick. (Remember you will want a little extra moisture in the sauce because you need to finish cooking the noodles in the oven.)
- 4. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, egg, sour cream, 2 cups cheese, chilies, and 2 Tablespoons of cilantro. Spoon 1 cup of meat sauce mixture into the bottom of your 9x13 baking dish. Filling Pasta: Pipe about 3 Tablespoons of filling mixture into each pasta tube (we used a ziploc bag with the corner snipped). Place filled pasta onto sauce, repeat with remaining noodles. Pour remaining sauce mixture over noodles.
- 5. Cover pan with sprayed foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and additional toppings if desired!
