Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook the shells according to the package directions (it's okay if they are a little firm since you will also be baking them). Once cooked, lay them out individually so that they don't stick together.
- In a skillet, cook and chop the ground beef until brown; remove any excess grease. Add the salsa and taco seasoning to the beef and combine.
- Add the cream cheese to the beef and stir until the cream cheese is thoroughly melted (if you cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces it melts a lot faster).
- Pour about half of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Stuff the shells with the beef mixture and place them into the sauced dish. Once finished, drizzle with the remaining enchilada sauce and top with cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
TACO STUFFED PASTA SHELLS
I found this recipe in a magazine a couple of years ago and it is a favorite at our house. We love cream cheese so I usually add a bit more than what the recipe calls for. The original recipe says you can double it and freeze one pan for up to 90 days. I haven't tried that but if you do, let me know how it turns out.

- Cook the pasta shells according to the packaging instructions until 'al dente'. Then drain and set aside. (Toss with a little olive oil as needed to prevent the pasta from sticking together).
- Sauté the onions in a skillet with a bit of hot oil for approx. 3 minutes until translucent and lightly browned. Then add the garlic and sauté for a further minute. (You can also sauté the onions + garlic, both for the filling and sauce at the same time as shown in the recipe video, then remove half of the mixture and set aside to use for the spinach cream later).
- Rinse the spinach and add to a large pan while it's still a bit wet. Sauté for 2 minutes or until wilted. Then transfer to a fine-meshed sieve and squeeze out any excess water. (You should end up with about 1 ½ cups of sautéed spinach.)
