Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning
- 4 ounces of cream cheese
- 16 jumbo pasta
- 1 1/2 cups salsa
- 1 cup taco sauce
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Monterrey jack cheese
For trimmings :
- 3 green onions
- Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°.
In a frying pan, brown ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package instructions. Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Stir and mix well. Set aside and cool completely.
While ground beef is cooking, cook pasta shells according to package instructions; drain. Place the shells individually on a cutting board or baking sheet so that they do not stick together.
Pour the salsa into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Stuff each shell with 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture. Place the shells in a 9×13 baking dish, open side up. Cover the shells evenly with the taco sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, add the grated cheese and bake for another 10-15 minutes without the foil. Cover with green onions or olives if desired. Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa!
