These shells came about during one of those nights when my kids were begging for tacos but I wanted something more filling than just regular tacos that they’d eat and be hungry again in an hour. I had this box of jumbo shells sitting in my pantry and suddenly thought, what if I just stuffed taco meat into them? It sounded crazy but turned out to be one of my best random ideas ever. The seasoned ground beef mixed with cheese gets spooned into these big pasta shells, then everything gets covered in enchilada sauce and more cheese before going in the oven. When you bite into one, you get all those taco flavors but in this hearty, comforting pasta form.
