- 12 ounces (340 g) jumbo shells, cooked al dente according to package instructions
- 1 pound ground beef, browned
- 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
- 1 cup (259 g) salsa, (we prefer chunky salsa here)
- 1 cup (165 g) sweet corn, (we use canned and yes, you can use the whole can if you want)
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup (56.5 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup (113 g) Mexican cheese blend*, shredded
- 1 medium tomato, diced for topping
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, diced for topping
- ¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream, for topping
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large oval casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, seasoning, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salsa, corn, and black beans. Make sure you have drained and rinsed the black beans well.
Stuff the ground beef mixture into each shell and place into the prepared casserole dish.
Top with Mexican cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly.
Top with tomato, jalapeno, and sour cream.
*In this recipe "Mexican cheese" can be the blend you buy at the grocery store. It is often a blend of Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla, and Asadero cheeses. You can also use Queso Fresco or Cotija cheese.
