Time 1h42m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (12 ounce) box jumbo pasta shells
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) jar double Cheddar pasta sauce (such as Ragu®)
¼ cup water
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta shells; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef mixture, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stuff each pasta shell with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture.
  • Mix pasta sauce with water together in a bowl.
  • Spread 1/3 of the sauce in the bottom of a large baking pan. Top with 1/2 of the tomatoes. Arrange stuffed shells on top. Pour remaining sauce and tomatoes over the shells. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese on top. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

I wasn't a big fan of these shells. The cheeseburger filling was too greasy and the shells were too soft.

These shells were a little too rich for my taste. I would probably use less cheese next time.

I was a little disappointed with the flavor of these shells. The cheeseburger filling was bland and the shells were overcooked.

The cheeseburger filling was a little too dry for my taste. I would add some more sauce or cheese next time.
