Ingredients:

• 15-20 large pasta shells
• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 packet taco seasoning 
• 4 oz. cream cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 1/2 to 1 cup Taco sauce -- not enchilada sauce
• shredded cheddar cheese
• shredded Colby jack cheese
• scallions, chopped
• sour cream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. In a frying pan, brown the meat. Add taco seasoning and cook according to package directions. I just added mine in and cooked with the meat. Once meat it cooked, add in the cream cheese. Stir, cover, and let simmer until meat and cheese is fully combined. Set aside and let cool. 
3. While meat is cooking, cook pasta shells. Once they are done cooking, lay them out on a baking sheet, or wax paper. This will prevent the shells from sticking together as they cool. 
4. Fill the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish wish salsa. I didn't have a full cup, so mine looks a little sparse. But the more, the merrier. 
5. Fill each shell with 1-2 tablespoons of taco meat, and place in baking dish seam side up. Then top with taco sauce (I didn't have taco sauce either, so I used what little salsa I had remaining). 
6. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove dish and sprinkle liberally with both cheeses. Then bake for 15 minutes more. Take out of oven, and add chopped scallions to the top. 
7. Plate it up, serve with a nice dollop of sour cream, and you've got yourself one heck of an easy and tasty meal.
