Delicious! My family could not get over how good these stuffed shell turned out.. A nice thing about this recipe is you can prep them way ahead of time before you need to put them together. Looking forward to making this recipe again . 10 Stars! -

THIS DISH IS TO DIE FOR!!!! TRULY! I am so glad I made this! I used a 26 oz. jar of sauce so I could mix a little bit in with the meat mixture to moisten it up a bit. It's really amazing the flavor you get out of jarred sauce when you add in the wine! I did add serrano peppers to the meat mix for a little heat. I also added another cup of mozzerella ontop of the dish so it would be super gooey! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dish!!! Thanks for yet another keeper Di!

I didn't have mozzarella cheese so I substituted cheddar cheese instead. I left the dry red wine out. Very good! Even better the next day.
