Stuffed Pasta Shells

                                   
Made this last night and I really liked it, one that I'll add to the Jones menu for sure! We really like strong flavors so next time I'll increase the chili powder and maybe even add taco seasoning to it.

Ingredients:

12 uncooked jumbo pasta  shells
1 med onion
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese at room temp
1/4 C taco sauce (I just blended salsa)
1/2 C taco sauce
1 C shredded colby-monterey cheese
For Garnish:
1/2 C crushed corn chips
4  chopped green onions
sour cream

Directions:

1. Cook pasta shells according to package.
2. Peel and chop onion. Cook ground beef and onion in skillet till beef is brown; drain.
3. Stir in chili powder, cream cheese, and 1/4 C taco sauce into the beef in the skillet. Heat until cheese is
    melted. Remove skillet from heat.
4. Heat oven  to 350 degrees, spray a 8 or 9 in square pan
5. Drain pasta, fill shells with the beef mixture (about 2 tbl. each). Place filled shells in sprayed pan. Pour
    1/2 C taco sauce over shells
6. Cover with foil and back 20 mins. Remove foil and sprinkle cheese and corn chips over the shells. Bake
    uncovered 10 mins, till cheese is melted.
 YUM!!!
