How to Make Beef Stuffed Shells
- 1Brown ground meat, onion and garlic.
- 2Drain and cool.
- 3Cook shells in boiling water about 15 minutes, drain.
- 4Into meat mixture, stir in mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, egg and seasonings.
- 5Spread 1/4 of the jar of sauce into a 13x9 baking dish.
- 6Stuff the shells with the meat mixture and place in dish on top of sauce.
- 7Pour remaining sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
- 8Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
- 9Freezing instructions: I have frozen this dish several times with success.
- 10Use the foil pans for this or put foil in your baking dish before the sauce and assembling shells.
- 11You can cook the shells then cool and freeze; thaw and reheat at 350 degrees until heated through.
- 12You can also freeze the stuffed shells before cooking, then thaw and cook as directed.
- 13The only thing I have noticed when freezing is that you may need to add more sauce over the top.
