Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Spray foil with cooking spray before using to cover casserole. Place, sprayed-side down, on casserole to prevent sticking.

Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 400°F for 35 min. or until heated through.

Freeze Ahead

Reserve 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Assemble recipe as directed, but do not top with the reserved mozzarella. Wrap casserole in foil; freeze. When ready to serve, heat oven to 400°F. Unwrap casserole; cover with foil. Bake 55 min. or until heated through, removing foil after 30 min. Top with reserved mozzarella; bake 2 min. or until melted.

These are great!!! I changed it some by adding hamburger. I also omitted the Italian seasoning, but used canned Italian seasoned, diced tomatoes instead of the fresh one. My family loved this dish. It is very versatile!

This was excellent. Two enthusiastic thumbs up. The hardest part is filling the shells, but so what? It's worth it.
