Beefy Shells & Cheese Dinner image

This is a nice warm skillet dinner that I originally adapted from a 'Taste Of Home' recipe cards booklet that I picked up in the checkout line at the grocery store. I say 'adapted' because I made a few minor changes (see below). *I omitted the water and cooked the macaroni separately because I was afraid that it would make it...
