I found this recipe probably two years ago and then lost it in one of my computer crashes where all my bookmarks went byebye. Just a few days ago I re-stumbled it, retried it, and decided to share it here!
Not my most favorite endeavor, but still good and a fun twist on traditional mexican food. I bet kids would like them too! The adult kids that I have cooked for sure did.
Ease of preparation: 2.5
Taste: 1
Feeds: About 4-6 shells per person, depending on what else you’re serving

These are fun to make and fun to eat! They’re relatively cheap to make and they definitely fill you up. I serve it with beans or beans and rice, and some fruit.
Suggestions / Changes
I make these with ground turkey instead of beef, and I think they taste just as good that way (I have tried them both ways)… plus, they’re healthier! Also, I throw in some chopped up onion and garlic with the meat. A little extra cheese on top doesn’t hurt either!
The directions call for 12 large pasta shells, but I usually can fill about 18 with a pound of meat. Also I always make a few extra shells because inevitably a few will break/tear in the cooking process. If there are any leftover have them as a snack with a dash of salt while the rest bake in the oven!
