Enchilada Stuffed Shells image

While cleaning out the office, I found this recipe under the bottom shelf. Handwritten, and no idea where I found it, it has my notes added to the recipe suggesting I made it and enjoyed it...LOL Perhaps one I made back in the 80s while still living at home if the age of the paper is anything to go by...

Number Of Ingredients 13

20 jumbo shells (pasta) (figure about 2 each person, adjust as needed)
1 lb hamburger (or use ground turkey if you want)
20 oz enchilada sauce (green or red, up to you)
1/2 tsp dried minced onion (i always add more)
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 c refried beans
1 c shredded cheddar (or use a mexican blend cheese, or colby jack, up to you)
guacamole
sour cream
tomato
shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • 1. Oven to 350 degrees. Cook shells 3/4 done, drain and cool quickly with cold water. Make sure you separate them so they don't stick together, so you can stuff them. Fry hamburger, drain. Stir in onion and seasonings. Stir in 1 cup enchilada sauce, and refried beans into hamburger mixture. Set aside.
  • 2. Fill each shell with beef mixture. Spray a 9x13 pretty well with PAM (original said butter it well, I prefer PAM). Pour half the remaining enchilada sauce on bottom of 9x13. Put shells in on top, then cover with remaining enchilada sauce over the shells.
  • 3. Cover, bake 20 min. Take out of the oven to sprinkle the cheese over the top, return to bake 5 min to melt the cheese.
  • 4. I added the guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream and lettuce to serve with the shells. Not a huge surprise, considering I love those with tacos too! Or my homemade enchiladas...or just about anything Mexican themed. Enjoy!
