Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163ðC).
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the manicotti noodles for 8 to 10 minutes according to package directions.
-
Drain the noodles and spread them out on a lightly oiled baking sheet to prevent sticking while they cool.
-
In a large skillet, cook the lean hamburger and spicy Italian sausage over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through.
-
Add chopped onions to the meat mixture during the last few minutes of cooking, stirring until softened.
-
Drain any excess grease from the meat mixture.
-
Transfer the meat and onion mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
-
To the cooled meat, add the provolone, mozzarella, Romano, and Parmesan cheeses, eggs, and bread crumbs.
-
Season with garlic powder, bay leaf, oregano, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
-
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the filling is well combined.
-
Carefully stuff each cooked manicotti noodle with the meat and cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
-
Arrange the stuffed noodles in a single layer in a large, lightly greased baking dish.
-
Pour the meatless spaghetti sauce over the stuffed noodles, ensuring they are well covered.
-
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the sauce.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
-
Let the cannelloni rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
