What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

1 tablespoon butter
1 pound ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
12 ounces grated Mozzarella cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook manicotti shells in water according to package directions; drain well.
In large skillet, melt butter. Add ground beef, pork, onion and garlic. Saute until browned; drain off excess fat. Add 2-1/2 cups of the cheese, eggs, beef base, salt, oregano, basil and pepper. Blend well.
Fill manicotti shells with mixture. In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, spread some of the tomato sauce on bottom to cover. Layer filled manicotti shells. Pour remaining tomato sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; cover with foil.
Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes more or until sauce is bubbly.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
