Yes this is delicious, but it does not resemble Manicotti. Manicotti are long tubular shells stuffed with ricotta cheese,egg,parmesan cheese,and parsley. When I have leftover pasta and tomatoe sauce, I mix in extras like olives and sausage, and top with mozzarella cheese, and bake it to reheat. It does not make Manocotti.

My husband's aunt had a similar recipe, but I tweeked it a little, and he says mine is the best he's ever had: 6 skirt steaks quarted pickles 12 slices of thick bacon (fried to medium crisp and save the drippings) chopped onions mustard Spread mustard on each steak, place 2 strips of bacon(1 on each side), lay pickle 1/4 horizontally, sprinkle with chopped onions. Roll up the steaks, and secure with toothpicks. Dredge in flour, and brown in the bacon drippings. Grease a 13x9 baking dish with any remaining bacon fat, place rolls in dish, and pour a can of beef broth over the rolls, Cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn the rolls and continue baking for 20 more minutes. Remove rolls from baking dish, and pour all the juices and any pieces of meat, onion etc, into a sauce pan, and add a little flour to thicken. This makes the most wonderful gravy. Takes a little time to prepare, but believe me , it's worth it!!

I found this recipe last, and it's now the only appetizer folks ask me to bring. It's a hit with everyone! The only change that I make is in the amount of the ranch dressing mix. I do not add all of it. When combining everything, I add a little ranch dressing and taste it it. And then, add more, if needed. Also, give it the required time to chill. The first time I made it, I was in a rush, but take your time and it will be a hit for you , also!
