Ingredients

  • 18 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup prepared mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Optional toppings: Shredded lettuce, and chopped pickles and tomatoes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water; drain again.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard and pepper until blended. Stir in 3/4 cup shredded cheese.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling into each shell. Place in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish.
  4. Bake, covered, until heated through, 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve with optional toppings as desired.
