-----MEAT FILLING-----
1 pound Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Milk
1/4 cup Onion -- Chopped
1 tablespoon Parsley -- Snipped
3 sl Bread -- Torn Up Small
1 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese -- Shredded
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1 lg Egg
-----PASTA-----
8 ounce Manicotti Shells -- 1 Pk
-----TOMATO SAUCE-----
4 ounce Mushroom Stems & Pieces
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
15 ounce Tomato Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
12 ounce Tomato Paste
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Onion -- Chopped
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
1 Clove Garlic -- Minced
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese -- Grated
4 cup Water

Cook and stir the meat and the first 1/4 cup of onion in a large skillet until
the meat is brown. Drain off excess fat. Remove from the heat and stir in the
remaining ingredients for the Meat Filling. Fill the uncooked manicotti shells,
packing the filling into both ends. Place the shells in an ungreased baking
pan, 13x9". Heat the oven to 375~. Heat the undrained mushrooms and the
remaining ingredients for the Tomato sauce except the Parmesan Cheese to
boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for
about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the filled shells. Cover the pan with
aluminum foil and bake until the shells are tender, 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours.
Sprinkle with the cheese and cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
