...and life is like a song....: Mexican Stuffed Shells. Ole!

This past Sunday we spent the whole entire day just lounging. I can't tell you how great it felt to have NOTHING to do because we are a busy family and this rarely happens. We have either had a wedding or some other engagement to attend for what seems like every single weekend for the past 3 months!! I think we had forgotten how to just relax, but this past weekend, we were reminded....and we were BORED!!! We ended up taking Brady on a couple walks and Steve even cleaned out the inside of my car!! JUST because we didn't know what else to do!! I know. We are pathetic.

I decided to make this recipe I found on a facebook site because it just looked so good! It is something I would not be able to make on a weeknight so I took the opportunity since we had nothing better to do.

I freakin LOVE Mexican food. Steve freakin LOVES pasta. So here is a little something that combined the two! It was delicious! We made some mexican rice and had some chips and salsa and it was a GREAT meal that I would definitely make again!

Indredients

1 pound ground beef
6 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 package taco seasoning
16-ish jumbo pasta shellls
1 cup taco sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup monterry jack cheese
Green onions and sour cream for topping

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a skillet, brown the ground beef, drain and return to skillet. Add the taco seasoning. Add the cream cheese, cover, and simmer until the cheese is melted. Stir and mix well. Set aside and let it cool completely.

While the ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to package instructions and drain. Set the shells out individually on a cutting board so they don't stick together.
