We eat a lot of Mexican inspired food around our house. These Taco Stuffed Shells are aweome. They are just a few ingredients and super easy.

I have made these Taco Stuffed Shells in the past with beef and taco seasoning (or you could use ground turkey). This time I chose chorizo sausage which already has a lot of flavor to make these Taco Stuffed Shells.

With just 7 ingredients and about 20 minutes of prep, you have a delicious DIFFERENT dinner.

While cooking pasta shells, dice your pepper and onions. Over medium heat, brown the meat and add the diced veggies and the can of green chilies. Let cook for a few minutes until soft and fragrant.

Next rinse the shells and let cool for a few minutes . Shut the heat off and stir in 1 cup of cheese to the meat mixture.

Then pour salsa onto the bottom of a 9x 13 pan. Spoon mixture into shells and set face down in pan.

Pour the rest of the salsa on top of shells and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or 30 minutes if cooking from the refrigerator.

Serve with a salad and boom done! These also will freeze well if you want to double up for another dinner!
