Equipment
- colander

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 6 ounces large pasta shells
- 10 ounces enchilada sauce
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with chilies
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 375°.
- Prepare ground beef. In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil and saute onions until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add ground beef, cook until no longer pink, then drain.
- Prepare pasta shells. While the beef is cooking, in a medium-sized pot, heat water to boiling. Add pasta shells and cook per box instructions (about 10 minutes). Drain then run under cold water to cool.
- Prepare meat mixture. To the cooked and drained beef, add the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning. Stir well.
- Prepare the baking pan. To a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, add the enchilada sauce.
- Assemble the stuffed shells. Add about 2-3 tablespoons to each cooked pasta shell and carefully place it into the pan forming 3 rows of about 8 shells in each row.
- Prepare for baking. Sprinkle with cheese. Cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the enchilada sauce is heated through. Serve hot.
