Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

*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.
