Taco Stuffed Shells

16-20 Jumbo Pasta shells
1 lb ground beef
1 can refried beans
1 c shredded mexican blend cheese, divided
1 packet taco seasoning
1 16 oz jar Salsa
1/2 onion chopped (optional)
Sour Cream


Cook pasta shells al dente, rinse and cool slightly to touch.
Brown meat & onion and add taco seasoning per directions (or season yourself)
Add Refried beans to beef and mix well.
Add 1/2 cheese and cook until well mixed and cheese is melted.
Pour enough salsa to coat the bottom of a 13x9" baking dish (about 1/2 cup)
Stuff Shells with meat mixture to desired fullness and place in baking dish on top of salsa layer. Stuff as many shells in the pan as you can- the shells shouldn't touch each other though.

Pour remaining salsa over the top of the shells.
Cover dish with foil and bake 375 degrees until hot and bubbly (About 15-20 minutes)
Remove foil and let stand for about 5-10 minutes.
Dish up add a dollup of sour cream to the tops of the shells, sprinkle with remaining cheese (extra cheese can also go on top of the salsa before baking mmmm) and enjoy!
