OMG! What a great recipe. I doubled the meat as I added 1 lb of sweet Italian sausage but forgot to buy an extra container of ricotta. I ended up putting in a leftover amount of goat cheese. It turned out great! I had WAY too much filling left over (as expected) so I put the meat mixture in a ziplock and threw it in the freezer. I didn't cook the noodles before hand and stuffed the raw shells using a small spoon, it was so much easier. Just make sure you add more sauce to the bottom of the pan and around each manicotti. I baked them covered for about 55 min, then uncovered with the added parm cheese for another 10 min. Let stand for 10 mins as stated. AWESOME!

Awesome. Did bake the potatoes in the bottom of my pan for 30 min while I cooked the sausage. Used 9 eggs and great for leftovers!

I followed the recipe pretty much to a "T" and it was great. Right before supper, I browned my meat in a skillet, while that was cooking I put the rest of the ingredients in a 5 qt crock pot. It barely fit, but I managed. My husband had a bowl around 10pm and raved about it. Said he couldn't wait to try it after it fully cooked over night. This chili was so good that I ate a bowl for breakfast while sitting at my desk at work. So easy....so good!
