6 manicotti shells
1/2 pound lean ground beef
3/4 cup refried beans
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 12 oz can whole kernel corn with sweet peppers -- drained
1 8 oz bottle picante sauce
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1/4 cup green onions -- sliced
1/4 cup chopped pitted ripe olives
1/4 cup chopped tomato
Cook manicotti shells according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a 1 1/2
quart casserole, crumble ground beef. Cook, covered, on 100% power (high) for 2
1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes or till no pink remains. Drain off fat. Stir in refried

Arrange the stuffed shells in a 10x6x2 baking dish. Pour corn and picante over
shells. Cover with vented clear plastic wrap. Cook the stuffed shells on high
for 8 to 10 minutes or till mixture is heated through, giving the dish a half
