Mexican Stuffed Shells

Mexican! Mexican! Mexican! We love Mexican...and pasta! so why not combine the two!? I was a little concerned when I read the ingredients and saw cream cheese on the list but my husbands reaction was like none other. Let's just say he asked if we could have it every week! haha

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 package low-sodium taco seasoning
4 oz. cream cheese
14-16 jumbo pasta shells
1.5 cup salsa
1 cup taco sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup monterey jack cheese
3 green onions
Sour cream

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a frying pan cook ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions.
3. Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Blend well. Set aside and cool completely.
4. While ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to directions; drain. Set shells out individually on cutting board/baking sheet so that they don’t stick together.
5. Pour salsa on bottom of 9×13 baking dish. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture. Place shells
in 9×13 pan open side up. Cover shells with taco sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, add shredded cheese and bake for 10-15 more minutes, with the foil removed.
7. Top with any condiments you’d like (green onions, black olives, etc.)
8. Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.
