Yum!

I made this last week and James is still talking about how good it was. I was sick and couldn't taste it, so I'll just take his word for it ;)

**I did not have big shells and I could not find them at the grocery store.. So I just made the sauce and we put in on top of chips like nachos. **

TACO STUFFED SHELLS

recipe from Blog Chef

1 lb. ground beef

1 pkg. taco seasoning

1 {14 oz.} pkg. cream cheese

12 large pasta shells

1 cup salsa

1 cup taco sauce

I cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 chp shredded monterrey jack cheese

1/2 cup tortilla chips, crushed

3 green onions, chopped

1 cup sour cream

Yes, I know. It looks like it requires a little too much effort, but I swear that’s SO not the case! First on the list, go ahead and brown your meat. Drain and return to pan. Add taco seasoning & prepare according to package directions. Then go ahead and toss in your cream cheese, cover, and let it simmer until the cream cheese is melted. Mix it around til it’s nice & blended and then set it aside. You’ll wanna make sure this little mix has time to cool off before stuffing your shells.

In the meantime, cook your shells according to package directions. Drain, return to pot, and mix with butter. Pour some salsa in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

Now stuff your shells with the meat mix and place them in the baking dish on top of the salsa. Cover the tops of the shells with taco sauce. I know the recipe called for a cup, but I just eyeballed it and put on as much…or as little…as I wanted :)

Cover the baking dish with foil and cook at 350 for 30 minutes. I failed to cover the shells…don’t make the same mistake!! It’ll make your shells all crunchy if you don’t cover them!!! Remove from oven, uncover, and sprinkle crushed tortilla chips and the cheeses on top of the shells. Cook for about 15 more minutes {uncovered} or until cheeses are all melted.

Remove from oven and top with whatever makes your little heart happy. We topped ours with sour cream and green onions….YUMMO!!!!

LOVE IT!!!!
