49.

So, you may have noticed I only posted one blog post last week...but I actually didn't suck that much, I had scheduled my posts to go through at 9am...and I just assumed it would work out, so I went about my day...and kind of didn't check until late Friday, and then I noticed that....uhm they didn't go through...I wasn't a happy camper. So......I'm making up for the lack of awesome posts, and writing on a Saturday. I know, you're welcome. So to get down to business, My Mom and I made mexican stuffed shells this past week, and they were awesome. We...well I goofed a little, but it turned out great anyways.

What you need:

-1 lb. ground beef
-1 package taco seasoning
-4 oz. cream cheese
-18-20 jumbo pasta shells
-1 1/2 cups salsa
-1 cup taco sauce
-2 1/2 cups of a mexican blend cheese.
-green onions
-sour cream
-sliced black olives

Alright, so brown the ground beef, and prepare with taco seasoning as usual [ fun tip though, I always have thought the package directions make the taco meat too runny, so I don't add all the water they tell you to...I only add about 1 Tbs and that's it...go try it and thank me later ] After you are done with all of that, add the cream cheese...and here is the part I messed up on, you see all that shredded cheese in there, well that wasn't supposed to go in...but my advice is that you add half of your shredded cheese in now, and half later. 

Let all the cheese melt, then remove from heat.

Start cooking your pasta. 

Pour all your salsa in a 9x13 inch pan. 

 

Stuff the shells and arrange in your pan.

Pour the taco sauce on top. Cover with foil and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and cook for another 10-15 minutes uncovered.

Sprinkle the green onions on top.

Serve with sour cream and black olives.
