Pasta enchiladas, jumbo pasta shells stuffed with a spicy blend of cooked ground beef and cheese, then topped with enchilada sauce and even more cheese.
Garnish Suggestions: sour cream, cilantro, pickled jalapenos, chopped scallions etc.
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water (as salty as the sea) to a boil in a large pot. Cook pasta shells per package instructions.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Meanwhile, in a pan add ground beef and brown. Drain the browned hamburger and return to the pan. Add the seasoning mix + ½ cup of water and allow the hamburger to simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the seasoning is well distributed into the ground beef.
Once pasta shells are done, drain and allow to cool enough to touch.
Pour enough of the enchilada sauce just to cover the bottom of a 10 x 10 baking dish.
Stuff each shell with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture. Place shells into the baking dish open side up. When the pasta shells are all filled, evenly cover the stuffed shells with the enchilada sauce.
Top with shredded cheese and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and everything is warmed through.
Garnish with sour cream, pickled jalapenos, green onions, and cilantro or whatever garnish you desire.
