Mexican Stuffed Shells

            I found this recipe from thewaytohisheart.wordpress.com. I thought it was different than the Italian 

stuffed shells and I wanted something new and different.  

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. ground beef
1 package taco seasoning 4 oz. cream cheese (I forgot to put this in mine and it was still delicious)14-16 jumbo pasta shells
1.5 cup salsa
1 cup taco sauce (Picture below)
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup monterey jack cheese
3 green onions (optional, I didn't use these)

shredded lettuce

diced tomato

Sour cream


PRINTABLE RECIPE

Fry the hamburger and add the taco seasoning and follow the directions on the package.  When well combined, add the 4 oz of cream cheese and stir until well mixed. (I forgot the cream cheese)

boil and drain the noodles. Don't cook them all the way, they will finish cooking in the oven.

Put The salsa on the bottom of the pan, I use Tostito's Restaurant style found in the chip isle. 

Stuff the shells with the meat and put on top of the salsa in the pan.

This is the type of taco sauce I use.  You can get mild or hot if you would like.

Cover the shells with the taco sauce.

Put the cheese on top of the shells and bake 350 degrees covered with tin foil for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes. 

Top with shredded lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes and green onions.
