Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion
2 tbsp taco seasoning
4 oz cream cheese
10 oz can green chili enchilada sauce (can use regular enchilada sauce instead if you like)
1 cup of favorite salsa
1 package large shell pasta
3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Fill large pan with water and heat to boiling. Cook pasta until al dente. You want a little resistance when you bite into it. Do not overcook.
  • Brown hamburger meat and chopped onion. Drain.
  • Add taco seasoning and cream cheese.. continue stirring until cream cheese is melted and combined. Set aside.
  • When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a small bowl mix enchilada sauce and salsa.
  • In a medium casserole dish pour ½ of the enchilada sauce/salsa mixture in bottom, being sure to cover bottom of dish.
  • Fill each shell with 1 tablespoon of meat mixture until meat or shells are gone... whichever comes first. If you have extra meat, just add a little extra to each shell.
  • Spoon remaining enchilada sauce/salsa over the shells.
  • Cover with foil and heat at 350 for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheeses. Cook uncovered until cheese is hot and bubbly.
