• cream cheese, softened
• sweet corn, drained

• cheddar cheese

How to Make Taco Stuffed Shells:

1. Cook the large shells in boiling water for 1 minute less than the package suggests.
2. Spread them on a clean towel to drain and cool so they are easier to handle.
3. Brown the ground beef, add the taco seasoning, cream cheese, beans, corn and 1 cup of the cheese.
4. Stir to combine.
5. Pour the 2 cups of salsa in the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
6. Fill the cooled shells with the taco mixture.
7. Cover with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
8. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
9. Garnish with the crushed chips and green onions. Extra salsa and sour cream would be good too!
