beefy shells & cheese dinner
(2 ratings)
This is a nice warm skillet dinner that I originally adapted from a 'Taste Of Home' recipe cards booklet that I picked up in the checkout line at the grocery store. I say 'adapted' because I made a few minor changes (see below). *I omitted the water and cooked the macaroni separately because I was afraid that it would make it too runny. **I used red kidney beans instead because I couldn't get any black beans (the store was out).
