I have all these ingredients except the ricotta and the sauce. I think I am sending my ds to the store! Would the filling for this be enough if I doubled well at least the ricotta? Could I stretch that?

Tooter · 03-30-2007, 05:36 AM

Double the ricotta to stretch it? I'm not sure what you are asking.

Tooter · 03-30-2007, 05:38 AM

You don't want to use more ricotta then is called for in the recipe or they "manicotti" wouldn't Hold up.

If you have a larger container of Ricotta...Just use Half of it.

Is that what you are asking?

nicole714 · 03-30-2007, 05:45 AM

mmmm this sounds delicious!!!

You said a 15 oz container for 8 steaks, I want to double this and wondered if I had to buy 2 containers or could I just use less in each one to make this stretch. I will buy a big one.

I know what is for dinner tonight at my house...............

This sounds wonderful...............

LOL I'm a little "Slow". Sorry about that. Yes, just buy the Big Container if you are going to "double" the recipe.

I guess I didn't have enough Coffee before I read your post.

Kevinpa · 03-30-2007, 03:15 PM

Very nice recipe Tooter. I tweaked it a tad but just small ones....lol.

*4 half chicken breasts (pounded thin)
*8 thin cut sirloin tip steaks
*Ricotti Cheese (15 oz Container)
*1 egg
*2 cups of 6 cheese blend.
*1/3 cup of Parmensan grated cheese
*1 med. zucchini (shredded and squeezed dry)
*small pinch of Salt and pepper
*1 Jar of 4 cheese spaghetti sauce

I put the filling together subbing zucchini for parsley.
fried the steaks and breasts.
rolled filling up the steaks.
put the excess filling between 2 chicken breasts and covered with sauce.

Baked 40 minutes covered.

Yum Yum!!

Your "Tweaks" look good, Kevin!

Just wanted to add (for other ideas) I have used the "Chicken" Steak-ums to make a Burrito type filling.

I still used the ricotta, but added Shredded Cheddar Cheese to it, some Black Soy beans and some mexican spices. I then put it in the casserole dish and put a can of Green Chili Sauce (it's low in carbs) and baked it. Served it with Salsa and sour cream.

You can do that with the chicken Breasts too. BTW, did you see the Chicken Strombi Recipe I posted? It actually is my favorite!

I also live in PA. I'm in Central PA

Yes I saw that but since I had extra filling I was looking for something quick to wrap it in. Unfortunately I was not able to pound the chicken breast flat enough to roll so I just put in the middle. My DD said "wow this tastes alot like chicken parmesan" and it did.

momov2boys · 04-01-2007, 02:36 PM

We just had these for dinner and they are to die for!
SO YUMMY!!!

I used FF Ricotta and 1 C RF Mozzarella & 1/4 C parmesan.
It filled 10 steak-ums really full.

Next time I will either fill 16 steak-ums with the same amount of filling or 1/2 the filling recipe for 8 steaks.

Thanks again, so much, for this recipe.
It's a keeper!

I'm so glad you liked it.

nicole714 · 06-19-2007, 08:53 AM

Tooter I finally made these and they were fantastic!!

I LOVE steak-ums but unfortunately DH has tummy problems with them so I also tried a variation florentine recipe that turned out well too.

I went to the deli and got roasted turkey sliced thick
(thick enough to roll with and not fall apart)

and for the filling I used
1 container riccotta
1 egg
1/4 tsp garlic pwdr
1 sm pkg frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained well
1/4 c parmesan cheese

I rolled them and topped them with LC tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Baked at 350 until the cheese melted approx 30-40 min.

The turkey was delicious I may try them again with roast beef!

ska53 · 06-19-2007, 09:09 AM

These sound heavenly, has anyone tried freezing them? Can you freeze ricotta without losing quality?

debkeversole · 06-19-2007, 10:40 AM

marking my spot going to store in the morning!

Nicole, that's an awesome Idea and recipe!!

See, we just had to think outside the box.

CarolynF · 06-19-2007, 01:30 PM

I picked up some Steak-Ums today..Forgot the ricotta, but will get that tomorrow for tomorrow night's dinner..

Hmmm..How about using Steak-Ums as lasagne noodles??? I often use deli chicken as lasagne noodles and you can't even tell..

ska53 · 06-19-2007, 02:11 PM

Tooter, how many servings did you have? I would love this but couldn't have it often due to the nutritional count. I ran it serving four and got the following.

Per Serving based on 4 servings: 409 Calories; 27g Fat (58.7% calories from fat); 32g Protein; 10g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 136mg Cholesterol; 897mg Sodium.

Per Serving based on 8 servings: 204 Calories; 13g Fat (58.7% calories from fat); 16g Protein; 5g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 68mg Cholesterol; 448mg Sodium.

I could have one if I used self control and froze the rest!

Gosh, the guys always had 2 of them and I always ate Just one and had a salad with it.

It fills you up pretty fast (that's why I only ate one), must be all the fat in it. YIKES! lol

CarolynF · 06-21-2007, 03:53 PM

We just finished dinner and made these wonderful manicottis..Fussy ds loved them..I gave him 2 with salad, I had 1 with salad..Dh was at a business meeting, so he missed out..These are going to be a "keeper" at my house, for sure.

The Mexican version sounds good, too..Thanks, Tooter..

dcarlee · 06-21-2007, 04:35 PM

I used to make these with deli turkey all the time. I had forgotten about them. I think I will try it next week.
