Stuffed Shell Tacos

Another great find on Pinterest!  I didn't really read any recipes, just saw a picture and went from there.  You HAVE to try these Stuffed Shell Tacos; everyone loved them! 
 
I did all prep on a Sunday night, so when we came home Monday from work/school, all I had to do was throw on the sauce/cheese, heat up the oven, and pop them in!  Bought me some extra time on a Monday night... 
 
Stuffed Shell Tacos
 
Jumbo Pasta Shells
Ground Meat
Taco Seasoning
1 package Cream Cheese
Green pepper
Onion
Taco Sauce
Shredded Cheese (Taco Blend)
Jalapeños
Sour Cream
Lime
Green Onions (or cilantro)
Tortilla Chips
Corn (Side)
 
(If you want to prepare ahead of time, do all steps the night before except adding taco sauce, cheese, and toppings.)
 
 
Preheat oven to 375.
Boil water and cook pasta shells.  Rinse in cold water and line them up in 13 x 9 glass pan.  While pasta is cooking, you can brown meat, strain, and add taco seasoning.  After you have added taco seasoning to meat, mix in softened cream chees.  You may want to cut the block into little squares to allow it to mix in and melt easier. 
Chop green peppers and onions.
When all this is prepared, stuff shells with a spoonful of meat and cream cheese mixture.
 

 Add green peppers and onions to each shell.
 

Cover shells in taco sauce and then cover with shredded cheese.
(I used one bottle of taco sauce, but will probably go for more next time to make it more saucy!)
 
 
Bake shells at 375 for about 20 mins. and until heated Top shells with shredded cheese and bake for about 8 more mins. or until cheese is melted.
 

Sprinkle chopped green onions on top of shells.
 
 
 
Top with crumbled tortilla chips, sour cream, jalapeños, and a squirt of lime juice.
Serve with a side of corn.
