Taco Stuffed Shells Ingredients:
- 1 box Large Pasta Shells
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 14 oz. can sweet corn, drained
- 1 14 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups salsa (check out my recipe for salsa verde)
- 2 handfuls crushed tortilla chips (garnish)
- 3 green onions, finely chopped (garnish)
Procedure:
Cook the large shells in boiling water for 1 minute less than the package suggests.
Spread them on a clean towel to drain and cool so they are easier to handle.
Brown the ground beef, add the taco seasoning, cream cheese, beans, corn and 1 cup of the cheese.
Stir to combine.
Pour the 2 cups of salsa in the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
Fill the cooled shells with the taco mixture.
Cover with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
Garnish with the crushed chips and green onions. Extra salsa and sour cream would be good too!
