Mexican Stuffed Shells

This is one of Christian's favorites.  While he was in Washington D.C. attending grad school at American University I sent him the fixings for this dish so that he could prepare himself a birthday meal.


1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning
4 oz. cream cheese
14-16 jumbo pasta shells
1 1/2 c. salsa
1 c. taco sauce
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c. monterey jack cheese, shredded
3 green onions, chopped


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cook ground beef, add taco seasoning and cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted.  Blend well.  Set aside and cool completely.  While ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells and rain.  Pour salsa on bottom of 9x13 baking dish.  Stuff each shell with the meat mixture.  Place shells in the pan open side up.  Cover shells with taco sauce.  Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes, add shredded cheese and green onions and bake for 10-15 minutes, with the foil removed.
