Serves 6-8
1 pound ground beef
1 cup salsa
2 jars of spaghetti sauce or you can use your own recipe
1 block of cheddar cheese (you can use grated cheddar as well)
1 box of jumbo pasta shells
2 packages of spanish rice (or you can make your own)
Preheat oven to 400.
1. Brown the beef. When browned, add one cup of the salsa, cook for about 5 minutes, then drain. Set aside.
2. Cook the rice according to the package directions. When the rice is finished add salsa (however much you feel is needed to give it a tiny kick).
3. Boil the jumbo shells and let cool. While the shells are cooling mix the rice and meat mixture together.
4. Use a 9x13 baking dish and put a thin layer of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom.
5. Spoon the meat mixture into the shells until they are plump. Do this until you have no more room in the baking dish and then top the shells with the sauce. Then top the shells with a lot of cheese.
6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
For the salad:
1 package of fresh spinach
1 red onion
4 hard boiled eggs (completely cooled off)
Chop up the onion and the hard boiled eggs, add to the spinach and top with your favorite dressing.
This is a horrible picture because it looks like cheesy mess, but you get the idea.
