Taco Stuffed Pasta shells

I recommend using cream cheese with chives and onions. It gives the stuffing alot more flavor. Great dish. everyone loved it.

This is really really good! I prepared 15 shells but ended up needing more so I boiled an additional 5 and that was just perfect (I didn't overstuff mine which may be why). I used all salsa because I forgot to buy taco sauce and that worked just fine. Served with sour cream. Yummy!

I think next time I make this kind of dish, I will cook the pasta less, as cooking them till they are done (following the box directions) made the shells very soft and mushy by the time they were done. Probably will look for another recipe to try next time too and see if there is one with more flavor. These were kind of bland with just the taco seasoning. Thank you for sharing with us though!

Sorry, this was just okay for us. I think I would have enjoyed them more if I used cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. With the jarred sauces, packaged mix and the cream cheese it just tasted too artificial to me.

I personally thought that this recipe was way too salty for my liking. It was easy to prepare and would probably try it again using a low salt alernative.

These were very very good! I did everything as directed. Used chipotle salsa and neufchatel (lowfat cream)cheese. It was tricky stuffing the shells at first, but once I found a strategy it was smooth sailing thereafter. Great recipe, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks!

excellent dish.....i had a hard time with the shells because I'm a man and cooked them too long! However,the end result was delicious. I would suggest adding more crushed chips under the cheese.

This is the same recipe that my mother gave me. My kids LOVE it and request it often. It's somewhat of a pain to stuff the shells, but well worth the time. We never have any leftovers!

These were really good and fun twist on Taco Night. I assembled mine a little differently by carefully adding crushed chips to each shell then topping with cheese. I didn't cover with the additional sauce because there was plenty in the bottom of the dish for our tastes. Since the pan was covered it created enough steam to keep the shells from drying out. We'll do these again. Thanks for posting.

I scored lots of points with this one! I added sauteed diced onion and fresh mint garlic to the ground beef before adding the taco seasoning for added flavor. My 1 yr old, 7 yr old and husband loved this dish. This was easy to make and we have plenty leftovers which is always a plus. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I made these last week, and they were great! A nice alternative to regular tacos. I added a can of Rotel tomatoes to the meat mixture, and next time I may add black beans as well. Very good, flexible recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Funny that I found this Taste of Home recipe here. I was looking to making these some time in the future, but the picture in the magazine didn't look so appealing until I saw home pictures here. I made it this weekend and it was a hit! I'll be making this again.

These were delicious!!! A nice alternative to regular taco's. I added a whole can of FF RF Beans and light cream cheese to the beef mix - which actually gave me 24 shells. I also mixed some black bean salsa and a can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies and some tomato sauce with a little oregano, chili powder, cilantro and some cumin to use as the sauce. Lastly, I sprinkled w only 1/2 cup of each cheese.

This is a VERY kid friendly meal!! I use low fat cream cheese, and 2% Mexican shredded Kraft cheese on top to make it healthier. I also added half a can of fat free refried beans to the meat and cream cheese mixture, and it is fabulous. Lastly, I substituted black bean and corn salsa for the taco sauce, and it was delicious. Served with sour cream and guacamole!!

This was a really fun take on stuffed shells that we all enjoyed. I served these with sour cream on the side, and I really liked that addition. Thanks.

Very tasty and filling! I had some shreds on the side and a dollup of sour cream. I used about 20 pasta shells and ground turkey instead of hamburger. Also added some sliced black olives. Hubby liked it as well!

We loved everything about this dish right up to the crushed tortillas on top. My ground beef was over a pound so I guesstimated to balance out the other ingredients. I couldn't imagine that 3 shells would be a meal but turns out it is very close, 3 or 4 generously stuffed shells seemed to be adequate for everyone. I served coleslaw with it and the creaminess of the coleslaw was nice beside this dish. This will def. find a home at our table again. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
