1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for oiling baking dish
1/2 medium red onion, small diced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chunky salsa, black bean and corn if available
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, plus 1 cup for topping
1/4 cup grated monterey jack cheese, plus 1 cup for topping
1 cup red enchilada sauce
24 jumbo pasta shells, cooked
1 1/2-2 cups fresh pico de gallo (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add beef and taco seasoning and cook until beef is no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in salsa and bring to a simmer, then add the cream cheese, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese and stir until completely melted and combined.
  • Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into bottom of prepared baking dish. Stuff shells with the beef and cheese mixture and arrange in the dish, keeping the shells close together. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup enchilada sauce over the shells and top with remaining 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake 20 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Top with pico de gallo and cilantro leaves for garnish.

These shells were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a combination of ground beef and ground pork for the filling, and I added a bit of chili powder and cumin for extra flavor. The whole family loved them.

These shells were a bit too bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding more spices to the filling next time.

These shells were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I should have added more spices to the filling. Otherwise, they were easy to make and the shells cooked evenly.
