No fancy story on this one. Just another find from "Very Best Baby." It's more of one of those: "it feeds the family" recipes than it is one of our very very favs. But it is good. Ben took some leftovers in to work for lunch recently, and one of his co-workers said it smelled so delicious that she wanted the recipe. Stacy, this one is dedicated to you!
Ingredients:
Jumbo dried pasta sells, prepared according to package directions, rinsed, and drained
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning mix*
1 cup water
1 can (16 oz) refried beans
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 jar (16 oz) salsa, divided
1/4 cup sliced green onions
sour cream (optional)**
Directions:
(The original directions tell how to put this into two 8x8 dishes, freezing one for later, etc. Forget that. I do the whole thing in one 9x13 and we eat off the leftovers.)
Cook beef in large skillet until brown; drain. Add seasoning mix and water; cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until thickened. Add beans and 3/4 cup cheese; mix well. Spread 1/2 cup salsa over bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Fill pasta shells with beef mixure; placing the filled shells into the baking dish, filled side up. Spoon remaining salsa over shells.
Preheat oven to 350. Cover baking dish with foil. bake for 40-45 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with green onions and remaining cheese. Serve with sour cream.
Notes:
*I buy the taco seasoning in bulk and I use a little less than a 1/4 cup for this recipe. It's just cheaper and that way I always know I have some on hand.
**They say the sour cream is optional... crazy people! It tastes much better with the sour cream.
