My husband really liked this and said that it was better the next day reheated for his lunch. I thought that it was ok -- perhaps I just didn't care for the swiss cheese flavor of the sauce. If I tried this again, I think that I would use a different kind of cheese in the sauce -- maybe some more cheddar. Thank you.

I thought this was a really great dish! Instead of being spiced up, it's just simple ingredients that go great together! It doesn't take as long to prepare as I thought, but I may toss it all with rotini next time like a casserole to make it even faster. My box of manicotti had 14, so I just made them all instead of having 4 leftover. I had enough mixture to loosely fill them all, but I could have used more cheese sauce. It's not fine cuisine, but it's a great family dish and very kid-friendly!
