I know my recipes have gotten away from the healthy/diet meals. My resolution for 2012 is to lighten everything up. Unfortunately, I know that unless it really tastes good, I'll only eat it once so there's my challenge. To find foods that are both healthy & taste great. While this meal isn't "healthy" it does taste great & doesn't contain PHO or HFCS.
Mexican Stuffed Shells
- 1lb ground beef
- 1pkg taco seasoning
- 4oz cream cheese
- 14-16 jumbo pasta shells
- 1.5c salsa
- 1c taco sauce
- 1c cheddar cheese
- 1c monterey jack cheese
- 3 green onions, sliced
- Sour cream
Preheat oven to 350'
In a frying pan, cook the ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Add cream cheese, cover & simmer until the cheese is melted. Blend well. Set aside & cool. While beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according the directions; drain. Set shells out individually on a cutting board so that they don't stick together.
Pour salsa on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture. Place shells in the 9x13 pan, open side up. Cover shells with taco sauce. Add shredded cheddar cheese & bake for 30 mins or until the edges are bubbly.
Top with any condiments you'd like (green onions, black olives, etc.) Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.
