World Cuisine Recipe « Mexican Stuffed Shells with Ground Beef

Stuffed shells using beef, corn, and salsa. A great combination of Mexican and Italian.

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 (12 ounce) box jumbo pasta shells
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 cup corn
• ½ cup sliced black olives
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shells in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir salsa, tomato sauce, corn, and olives into ground beef.
4. Stuff shells with ground beef mixture; arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over stuffed shells.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Serve shells with sour cream.
