Step-by-Step Instructions
Let me guide you through making these delectable Cheesy Taco Stuffed Shells, and I promise it will be a breeze! First, start by boiling the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions. You want them al dente since they’ll cook further in the oven. Once they’re cooked, drain them carefully and set them aside. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning, cream cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese until everything is well combined and melty. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
