3 Cheese & Beef Stuffed Shells

1. 1

   Heat oven to 350u00b0F Cook and drain pasta shells as directed. (For best results, cook the pasta just until al dente (still slightly firm). This will make them easier to stuff and they won't overcook.).

   In 10-inch skillet, cook ground beef for 5 to 7 minutes, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   In large bowl, mix pasta sauce and water. Pour 1 cup of the sauce in the buttom of an ungreased 13x9 glass baking dish.

Arrange shells over sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over shells. Cover with foil.
