Mexican Manicotti

This recipe comes from Taste of Home.  I have made it several times and it is a hit with the family.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 pound uncooked ground beef
1 cup refried beans
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
8 uncooked manicotti shells
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup picante sauce
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup sliced olives
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl combine beef, beans, oregano, and cumin.  Stuff into manicotti shells; place in an ungreased 11x7 microwave safe dish.

2. In a small bowl, combine water and picante sauce; pour over shells.  Loosely cover dish, microwave on high for 3-4 minutes.  Turn shells with tongs.  Microwave 3-4 minutes longer; turn shells again.

3. Cover and cook at 50% power for 12-15 minutes or until pasta is tender and meat is no longer pink, turning dish one half turn once.

4. Spoon sour cream lengthwise down center; sprinkle with onions, olives and cheese.  Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
