Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Shells Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-6416

Number Of Ingredients 9

17-20 About 17-20 cooked shells
1 lb of ground meat
10 slices of chopped bacon
5 slices of American cheese
3/4 cup of chopped onion
1 10 oz can of drained diced tomatoes
1/4 cup of ketchup
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a skillet add chopped bacon. Cook on medium heat about halfway through. Drain the excess grease & add the onion & cook until bacon is crispy. Drain grease again. Add ground beef & spices. Brown the meat until fully cooked & drain. Turn heat down & add the diced tomatoes & ketchup. Stir well & add cheese to the top. Once melted stir until the cheese is evenly distributed. Stuff shells with meat mixture and place into a baking dish. Spoon the cheese sauce (see below) over the shells. Cover & bake for about 10-15 minutes. Easy Cheese sauce: Make the cheese sauce after stuffing the shells, as the sauce will thicken quickly. 5 slices of American cheese 1/3 cup of milk 1/4 tsp ground mustard 1/4 tsp salt Pepper to taste Directions: In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients over low heat & stir until sauce is smooth.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Season the meat mixture generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the meat mixture so that it browns evenly.
  • Don't overcook the meat mixture; it should be cooked through but still moist.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the shells; they should be filled, but not so full that they burst.
  • Bake the shells in a covered dish to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the shells with your favorite pasta sauce and toppings, such as grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Cheeseburger stuffed shells are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch. They are also a great way to use up leftover ground beef or pork.
