Mexican Stuffed Shells

Mexican Stuffed Shells

1 box of the large pasta shells. Cooked according to package directions.
2 pounds of ground chuck browned.
2 pkg. of your favorite taco seasoning.
1 large jar your favorite salsa
2 bags of shredded cheese - (I use the one with Mont. Jack in it)

Cook pasta shells and rinse in cool water then drizzle olive oil over them to keep them from sticking. Cook your ground beef and season it with taco season. (just like for taco's). While gently holding a pasta shell in your hand, spoon some taco meat into it and lay it in pan. Continue until all pasta shells and meat is used up. Pour or spoon your salsa over the top of the shells. I rinse the jar out and pour that little bit of water in also. Spread your grated cheese over the salsa. Bake in a 9X13 cake pan @ 350 just until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

note: These can be re-heated for lunch in the microwave. Freezes well also.
