Recipe #6: Mexican Stuffed Shells

I got this recipe from my friend, Jodi. She had posted the recipe on Facebook. The night she made it for her, her husband, and her brother-in-law, she was posting comments about how good it smelled and how delicious it was. She was right. It was very delicious!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 package taco seasoning
8 ounces cream cheese
20 jumbo pasta shells
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 cup taco sauce
1 cup Cheddar cheese
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pan, brown the ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Stir together and mix well. Set aside and cool completely.

While ground beef is cooking, cook pasta shells according to package directions; drain. set shells out individually on cutting board or baking sheet so they don't stick together. Pour salsa on bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Stuff each shell with 1-2 tablespoons of meat mixture. Place shells in pan open side up. Evenly cover shells with taco sauce. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Add shredded cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes more with foil removed.
