1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion
2 tbsp taco seasoning
4 oz cream cheese
10 oz can green chili enchilada sauce (can use regular enchilada sauce instead if you like)
1 cup of favorite salsa
1 package large shell pasta
3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Steps:

Fill large pan with water and heat to boiling. Cook pasta until al dente. You want a little resistance when you bite into it. Do not overcook.
Brown hamburger meat and chopped onion. Drain.
Add taco seasoning and cream cheese.. continue stirring until cream cheese is melted and combined. Set aside.
When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse with cold water.
In a small bowl mix enchilada sauce and salsa.
In a medium casserole dish pour ½ of the enchilada sauce/salsa mixture in bottom, being sure to cover bottom of dish.
Fill each shell with 1 tablespoon of meat mixture until meat or shells are gone... whichever comes first. If you have extra meat, just add a little extra to each shell.
Spoon remaining enchilada sauce/salsa over the shells.
Cover with foil and heat at 350 for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheeses. Cook uncovered until cheese is hot and bubbly.
