DIRECTIONS:
Cook manicotti as directed on package. Drain water and rinse with cold water. In bowl mix cream cheese, ricotta cheese, 3 c mozzarella cheese, onion salt, garlic powder, and spinach. Stuff manicotti shells with mixture. (I gently tear open noodles and place mixture inside. Then I role them back up. No one will even notice and they will cook back together in the oven making it easier on you!) Place stuffed manicotti in a greased 9 by 13 pan. Spoon marinara sauce over manicotti. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and cook at 350 for 15 min. Once cooked top with parmesan cheese and cook for 10 more minutes. Serve hot with garlic bread!

TIP: this is one of those recipes you need to plan ahead for since it calls for some things you wont always have on hand. We absolutely indulge in this recipe! Even my little Brax likes it.

Chicken Brocilli and Cheese Casserole

3 cup frozen brocilli

1/2 c mayo

1 tbls lemon juice

2 small cans chicken

1/4 tsp curry

1/2 c cheese (any kind of cheese will work)

1/2 c bread crumbs

1 can cream of chicken soup

1-2 c uncooked rice

DIRECTIONS:

Cook rice as directed on package. Place brocilli in microave safe bowl and cover with water. Microwave for 3 minutes. In a bowl mix chicken, cream of chicken, curry, cheese, mayo and lemon juice. Drain brocilli and mix with other ingredients. Place cooked rice in bottom of a 9 by 13 pan. Top with mixture and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake for 40 min on 325 degrees.

TIP: I cook my rice 4 min less then directed on package to help moisture stay in while it bakes in the oven. Otherwise the rice gets a little crispy around the edges.
