Smoked Beef Manicotti

cowgirl · Oct 23, 2019

I like the way pasta takes on smoke. Smoked lasagna is one of my favorites but this time I went with stuffed manicotti shells.

I went with my favorite meatloaf combination....

stuffed the uncooked shells...
spread a bit of sauce on the skillet and filled with the stuffed pasta..

filled about half way with beef stock...

topped the pasta with the excess meat mixture...

more sauce and into the drum with a kiss of hickory....

When the meat and pasta were cooked through, I added cheese...

I scooped up a couple of stuffed shells and served with a side of garlic bread.

I sliced the manicotti open to get a shot of the meat stuffing...

It turned out better than I had hoped. Pasta does take on the smoke well though. imo :-D
I'll probably make this again sometime.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Neighbor! I'm not much of a pasta person. Probably eat it less than 10 times a year but sometimes I crave it. lol

What a fantastic idea Jeanie. It sounds splendid. I'll add the "something Cowgirl cooked I need to make someday" list.

You have been on a tear lately Lady. Take a break and come down Belton Texas way this Saturday. Let other's cook for you for a change! Texas Bash!

Fantastic dish!

I rarely crave pasta... but this has my mouth watering! Nice cook

I'm trying to figure out if there is any ricotta in there anywhere (I am not a fan). If not, this might just be the perfect pasta dish.

Amazing, as usual, Jeanie :thumb:

I never thought of adding smoke to pasta, but no doubt it works. You can't argue with those results. Nice idea!

What a grand meal. :-D

Pig_Farmer · Oct 24, 2019

Wow Jeanie, you nailed it. I'm not a big fan of pasta, but that looks like it could definitely satisfy my appetite.

In my mind,
Good.
