STUFFED SHELLS III
This recipe is a hit wherever you go. It is a very rich and cheesy meal and looks like a deep-dish pizza when done. I altered what I was originally given because I did not like cottage cheese and added other ingredients that I thought it deserved.

Steps:
- Cook pasta shells in well salted, boiling water until al dente (still have a little bite to them- if you cook them too long, they will be difficult to stuff). Drain the pasta and set aside while you make the filling.
- For the filling, add diced chicken, drained black beans, green onions, diced peppers, and cumin into a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, chicken broth and undrained tomatoes with chiles. When thoroughly combined, pour it over the chicken mixture and mix well (if you have trouble incorporating the cream cheese and tomatoes, you can heat it slightly in the microwave).
- You will need either 2 9x13" baking pans OR one large baking sheet. Spread 3/4 cup salsa in the bottom of each 9x13" baking pan.
- Using a spoon, fill each of your cooked pasta shells with chicken mixture, setting them into the salsa-covered pan. Continue until all shells are filled and arranged in the pans.
- When the pans are full, drizzle the shells with the remaining 1/2 cup of salsa (1/4 cup per pan) and then sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the baking pan tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:
- Use a large pot to cook the pasta shells so that they have plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
- Cook the pasta shells according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them, or they will become mushy. Drain the pasta shells and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the pasta shells are cooking, prepare the filling. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain the fat from the skillet.
- Add the taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- To assemble the stuffed shells, place a spoonful of the filling into each pasta shell. Place the stuffed shells in a baking dish and top with the remaining taco sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the stuffed shells immediately, topped with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole, if desired.
