Mexican Stuffed Shells Oamc Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a frying pan cook ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Blend well. Set aside and cool completely.
• While the ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to directions; drain. Set shells out individually on baking sheet so that they don't stick together.
• Pour salsa on bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture placing shells in dish open side up. Cover shells with taco sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, add shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips; bake for 10-15 more minutes, with the foil removed. Top with green onions and serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.

Steps:

• Cook meats together (and optional onion) - be sure not to leave too many large pieces. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Bring large kettle of water to boil and add shells. After about a minute turn heat down to medium and continue to boil - this will help keep your shells from breaking apart.
• Set aside about a cup of the marinara sauce.
• Drain noodles and rinse with cool water. Allow to dry slightly.
• After meat has cooled, add remaining marinara sauce and and 1 1/2 cups cheese. The cheese should not melt if you allowed the meat to cool properly. This mixture should be at least as thick as pudding.
• Spray the bottom of your cooking pan ( I use an 8x8 Oven Gladware - best invention ever!). One at a time fill each shell with a spoonful of mixture. (This is easiest if you squeeze the ends of the shell to open it like a coin purse) Place each filled shell in the pan, seam down (this is why they look like armadillos!). I can get about 15 shells in an 8x8 pan, don't be afraid to pack them close together. When all the shells are filled there I usually have a little mixture leftover. Add the remaining marinara to make a thinner sauce and spread over the top. Add the remaining mozzarella on top. At this point you can cover, label and freeze or cook at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes - enough to heat everything through.
• *Freezer Directions: It is best to thaw in the fridge, but in a pinch you can warm slowly in a 200 degree oven for 20 minutes. Then cook at 350 for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!*.
