Ingredients

• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1⁄4lb ground beef, browned
• 1⁄4lb italian sausage, browned
• 1cuponion, chopped and sauteed
• 6 cannelloni, large
• 1cup white sauce
• 6 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Directions

1. To make filling, combine browned beef, browned sausage, sauted onion and Marinara Sauce. Cook cannelloni as directed, but cook for only 3/4 recommended time; rinse and drain. Fill cannelloni with filling mixture and pack firmly into greased baking dish. (easiest way to fill these cannellonis is to fill a pastry bag or a ziploc bag with the mixture and fill them up.)

2. To make cheese sauce, warm White Sauce until nearly boiling; add grated cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Pour over cannelloni, coating pasta generously. Cool.

3. To freeze: cover baking dish with aluminum foil; place in freezer bag. Label and freeze.

4. To prepare: uncover and bake frozen casserole in 400-degree oven for 1 hour, or until hot and bubbling. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, return to oven for 5 minutes to brown top.
