Here’s a fantastic recipe for Taco Stuffed Shells that is sure to delight your taste buds! With a perfect combination of seasoned ground beef, creamy cheeses, and tangy salsa, this dish is a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning (you can use low-sodium if you prefer)
• 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese
• 14-16 large pasta shells
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup taco sauce (NOT enchilada sauce)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
• 1 1/2 cups crushed tortilla chips (optional)
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
2. In a frying pan, cook the ground beef. Add the taco seasoning and follow the instructions on the package. Then, add the cream cheese, cover, and simmer until the cheese is melted. Mix everything together well and set it aside to cool completely.
3. While the ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them and place the shells individually on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
4. Pour the salsa into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture and place them in the baking dish open side up. Cover the shells with taco sauce, and then cover the dish with foil.
5. Bake the stuffed shells for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the shells. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Top the shells with chopped green onions and serve with sour cream and/or more salsa. You can also add a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips on top for extra crunch!
