Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  5. In the prepared baking dish, spread the crushed tomatoes over the bottom. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture and place in the dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the shells.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  7. Serve hot.
