Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 18 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup taco sauce
  • 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • green onions optional
  • black olives optional - I forgot I had them in my pantry but they would have been great!

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in boiling water, 8-10 minutes.
  • While pasta is cooking, brown beef over medium heat until cooked through.
  • Add in cream cheese, salt and chili powder, mix together and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Once pasta is cooked, toss pasta in melted butter.
  • Fill pasta shells with beef and place in 9"x13" pan.
  • Pour taco sauce over shells, then cover with foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
  • Once cooked, add cheese and tortilla chips on top of pasta shells, and bake an additional 15 minutes without foil.
  • Remove from oven and top with green onions, sour cream, olives, and any other toppings. Enjoy!
