12 uncooked manicotti pasta shells
1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 can (6 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato paste
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups water
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 1/2 cups sour cream (12 oz)
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (10 oz)
2 cans (4 oz each) Old El Paso™ whole green chiles, drained, chopped

This recipe was a disaster. The manicotti shells were undercooked and the filling was bland. I will not be making this dish again.

The manicotti shells were too mushy. I think I'll cook them for less time next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the manicotti turned out great! I especially liked the creamy sauce.

The manicotti shells were a bit too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try using a different type of pasta next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a milder salsa.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a little bit of extra cheese to the filling, and I always serve it with a side of sour cream.

This Mexican manicotti was a hit with my family! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the manicotti shells were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.
