Cannelloni recipe
Recipe ingredients:
- Special seasoning:
- 1 1/4 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 1/4 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup flour
- 16 crepes or 16 manicotti shells, cooked according to package directions
- 2 cups marinara sauce or your favorite red sauce, or 2 cups white sauce, homemade or your favorite brand
Recipe method:
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook ground beef and yellow onions until meat is fully cooked and onions are tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add the eggs, Parmesan, bread crumbs, garlic and flour, mixing together well.
- Stir in Special Seasoning and reduce heat to low.
- If using crepes, place 4 to 5 ounces (about 1/2 cup) of filling in the center of each crepe and roll lengthwise. If using manicotti shells, gently stuff filling inside shells with a spoon. Place in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Cannelloni may be frozen at this point or stored in a refrigerator until you are ready to serve it. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator overnight before serving.
- When ready to serve, heat at 350 degrees F, covered, for about 20 minutes.
- To serve, place two crepes or shells on each plate and top with your favorite red or white sauce.
