This was great recipe that even my picky eaters loved! I would definitely make again, though not too soon b/c stuffing the shells is kind of a pain, but great recipe!

I made these for my husband who is a very picky eater and he loved them! I did use ground beef since my hubby doesn't eat turkey. They are quick and easy to prepare.

I love this recipe because it is easy and good every time as long as you buy a good enchilada sauce. I always mean to try it with ground beef but forget. Only complaint is that I end up eating too much and it is so heavy in my belly.

I used ground beef instead of turkey and a can of refried beans. I mixed the beans with the meat mixture, then stuffed the shells. They were pretty good, but maybe next time I will add chili powder to meat mixture. Nice with a bit of sour cream.

Very good! I made this for dinner tonight, and found it to be a very easy dish to prepare. It had very good flavor. I would suggest serving it with sour cream.

The recipe yielded more then 15 filled shells, as the jumbo shells that I purchased were not as large as the picture of the recipe.

Give this recipe a try. Enjoy with a margarita!
