Mom's Manicotti

I apologize to those who need amounts for the spices...this is just how my mom cooked...most recipes were just seasoned by her taste preference. :)

1 medium onion
black pepper
garlic salt
cumin
parsley
basil
nutmeg
1 egg
3 slices dry bread crumbs
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes

Brown ground beef in a skillet, drain any fat/liquid. Mix in other ingredients. Using a small spoon or clean hands, fill the uncooked shells with the meat mixture. Place in a 9x13-inch pan. Cover with sauce (recipe below) and 1/2 cup of water. Bake uncovered at 350* for 1 hour.
