Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup Old El Paso™ taco sauce
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend (4 oz)
1/2 cup crushed corn chips
1/2 cup sour cream
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta shells as directed on package.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart nonstick saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Stir in beans, chili powder, cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the taco sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted.
  • Fill cooked shells with bean mixture. Place shells, filled sides up, in pan. Pour remaining 1/2 cup taco sauce over shells.
  • Cover and bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and corn chips. Bake uncovered about 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Garnish with sour cream and onions.

This recipe was a disaster. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Just made this recipe and it was delicious! I used a different type of pasta than the one called for, but it still turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I like to add a little bit of extra spice to mine, but that's just me.
