Tacos in a Pasta Shell

Tacos in a Pasta Shell

1 pkg jumbo pasta shells
1-1&1/2 lbs hamburger
1 pkg cream cheese (8oz)
1/8c dried onions (handful)
salt and pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic
1c water
1/2 pkg taco seasoning
cheese, grated

Cook noodles according to package directions. Brown hamburger with onions and salt and pepper. Drain grease, then add cream cheese and spices. ( I usually don't measure them, I just sprinkle them on until it tastes like how I would like it) When cream cheese is melted, use this filling to stuff the pasta shells. Place in a 9X13 pan. When all shells are stuffed, mix taco seasoning with water and pour over top of shells. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, covered then 10 min uncovered. Can serve with sour cream or salsa if desired.

*my kids love these. Last time I made them I didn't pour the taco seasining on some of them cause Isabel decided that she didn't like taco seasoning, and I cooked them covered the whole time so the noodles wouldn't get crispy on top. These are perfect if your kids can't agree on if they want tacos or noodles*
