A delicious casserole dish featuring jumbo pasta shells filled with seasoned ground beef, salsa, and cheese, then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 20 jumbo pasta shells (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1.5 cups salsa, divided
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cook pasta shells according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat and drain excess fat.
  4. Add taco seasoning and water to the beef; stir well and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup salsa and 1 cup cheese.
  6. Spoon the beef mixture into each cooked shell and place in a 13×9-inch baking dish.
  7. Top shells with remaining salsa and cheese.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.

Notes

Cook the shells according to package directions before stuffing to ensure they are tender enough. Do not overcook the pasta as it will continue to soften during baking. This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
