This recipe was found on allrecipes and submitted by Behr Kleine. I did alter the recipe to fit my family's taste. The recipe as posted did not include the meats or fennel. The ground beef and Italian sausage gives the sauce more substance and taste and the fennel seed gives it that real Italian flavor. I love manicotti and this recipe is just as good without all the work of stuffing the shells. Easy to assemble and very tasty!! Not sure of prep time
