Taco Stuffed Shells

Let me just start by saying these are amazing!! So good that my hubby ate 5!!! He wants this to start being a regular on our menu! Before it was completely done my husband was working up in the attic while I was cooking these and he kept telling me it smelt the whole house up with a Mexican smell that was amazing!  Hope you enjoy!

Sorry the picture was taken after we had ate one.

First you need to gather you ingredients.

Ingredients

1-2 lbs ground beef

pkg of jumbo shells (I only used about 13 shells)

1 pkg of taco seasoning

1 8 oz. pkg of cream cheese

2 cups shredded cheese ( I used fiesta blend)

1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips

1 cup salsa

taco sauce ( your preference on how much)

sour cream if wanted as a topping

First cook noodles as stated on package.

Cook meat/drain and then add taco seasoning and follow direction on pkg.

Then add cream cheese and mix until melted.

In a 9 x 13 spread salsa on the bottom of dish. After noodles are done cooking drain them and return to pot and add some butter to them so they don't get sticky.

After the meat is done cooking you can now begin stuffing the shells with the meat mixture and placing them on top of salsa in pan.

Now you drizzle some taco sauce on top of shells. (Up to you how much you want)

Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 min.

When that is done sprinkle with the crushed tortilla chips

Top with the shredded cheese and bake uncovered for another 15 min or until cheese is melted.

These are AMAZING!!!
