A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Great suggestion about how to fill the shells! Was much easier than spooning the mixture into them. Flavor and everything else about the recipe was perfect.

Absolutely Delish! So easy and it makes a lot! I put the ground beef/bean mixture in a large ziploc bag, cut the corner off and squeeze it into the manicotti to make the stuffing easier. Awsome!
