You can add jalapeños, hot sauce or green chilies to this to add a real kick! **edited on October 24 to add instructions for Once a Month Cooking. I usually make these during a cooking blitz and freeze until I need them**

Time 50m

Yield 12-18 shells

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 -18 large pasta shells, cooked
1 lb ground beef
3 tablespoons taco seasoning, I use Bulk Taco Seasoning Mix
1/2 cup water
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups salsa, divided
1 cup grated cheese, divided (jalapeno Monterey Jack is especially good, but cheddar will work well too.)
750 ml tomato sauce
chili powder, to taste
green onion, for garnish

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef and drain.
  • Add seasoning, water, onion, and 1/2 cup of salsa and 1/4 cup cheese.
  • Mix together remaining salsa, tomato sauce,and chili powder.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking pan.
  • Fill each shell with the ground beef mixture and place in pan.
  • Pour remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese on top and garnish with green onion. Cover and freeze at this point.
  • Defrost overnight and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. (Cook from frozen for 2 hours at 300°F).
  • If desired sprinkle additional cheese on top after baking and return to oven for 5 minutes longer or until cheese melts.

I'm not a fan of Mexican food, but these shells look interesting. I might give them a try.

My mom used to make these shells all the time when I was a kid. I can't wait to try this recipe and see if it brings back any memories.

These shells were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my shells turned out really dry. The filling was bland and the sauce was too thin.

These shells were super easy to make and turned out great! I used a jarred salsa instead of making my own, and it still tasted amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but these shells were surprisingly good. The filling was flavorful and the sauce was creamy and rich.

Absolutely delicious! The cheese and sour cream sauce was the perfect topping. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

These shells were a great way to use up some leftover chorizo and corn. I also added some diced zucchini to the filling for extra veggies. The whole family enjoyed this recipe!

These Mexican stuffed shells were a hit at my dinner party! They were easy to make and so delicious. My friends loved the unique flavor combination of the chorizo, corn, and black beans. Will definitely be making these again!
