Beef Stuffed Shells

1 pound ground beef

1 large onion -- chopped

1 clove garlic -- chopped to taste

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 egg

Seasonings * 18 giant shells

1 jar spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese **

* salt, pepper, parsley, oregano (all to taste) **(I have also used more mozzar ella since we like things cheesy :) )

Brown ground meat, onion and garlic. Drain and cool. Cook shells in boiling wat er about 15 minutes, drain. Into meat mixture, stir in mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, egg and seasonings. Spread 1/4 of the jar of sauce into a baking dish (I use a lasagne pan, sorry can`t recall dimensions!). Stuff the shells with th e meat mixture and place in dish on top of sauce. Pour remaining sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Freezing i nstructions: I have frozen this dish several times with success. Use the foil p ans for this or put foil in your baking dish before the sauce and assembling sh ells. You can cook the shells then cool and freeze; thaw and reheat at 350 degr ees till heated through. You can also freeze the stuffed shells before cooking, then thaw and cook as directed. The only thing I have noticed when freezing is that you may need to add more sauce over the top.
