Meat Filling for Pasta

This makes enough filling for 12 oz. of manicotti, jumbo shells, or lasagna rolls.

1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
4 eggs
1 cup flavored bread crumbs
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozarella cheese
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 tsp. oregano
salt & pepper
pinch of nutmeg

Lightly brown the meat in a frying pan and drain off the fat. In a mixing bowl, mix the cooked meats with the rest of the ingredients. Fill the cooked pasta with the filling and place in a pan that has a layer of tomato sauce in it. Filled jumbo shells should be placed open side down. Cover the pasta with more sauce. You will need a total of about 3 1/2 cups tomato sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
