Stuffed shells


Not the best picture, I had to check the middle to see it was cooked all the way through (since it has eggs in it).
18 jumbo pasta shells
3/4 lb ground beef or italian sausage
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3 eggs
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 can (26 oz) spaghetti sauce

Cook pasta according to package directions, just until tender; drain. Brown beef or sausage, onion and garlic in skillet; drain. Mix rest of ingredients together, except spaghetti sauce. Stuff shells, set aside. Pour half of sauce into slow cooker. Arrange stuffed shells in sauce. Top with other half of sauce. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours.
This recipe is from 365 days of crockpot blog site, by Karen Peterson a neighbor down the road.
I usually don't get it into the crockpot in time to have it done by dinner so I adjusted the recipe for it to cook in a 9 by 13 pan and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. I can usually fit up to 30 shells in one 9 by 13.
