Mexican Stuffed Shells image

This is one of my oldest son's favorite recipes and one I always enjoyed making for dinner as we worked together to stuff the shells. Now he's grown and in the Army and this recipe is saved in a special cookbook just for him. Aside from making family memories for us it is also one that is very good. Served with rice and beans...

These stuffed shells were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best stuffed shells he's ever had.

These stuffed shells were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had used a spicier salsa.

I've made these stuffed shells several times now and they're always a hit. The only change I make is to use a jar of salsa instead of making my own. It saves time and the shells still taste great.

These stuffed shells were easy to make and very delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it worked out great. I also added a can of corn to the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but I decided to try these stuffed shells anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were well-balanced and not too spicy. The shells were also very cheesy and gooey.
