-
Start by preparing pasta shells according to package directions. Once shells are par cooked, about 9 minutes for my shells, drain well in colander and lay shells out on a baking sheet to avoid sticking.
-
While pasta shells are cooking, sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat.
-
Once onions have started to soften, increase heat to medium high and add ground beef to the pan.
-
Season ground beef with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and garlic powder.
-
Once ground beef has cooked through, add 1/2 can of enchilada sauce and tomato sauce.
-
Let simmer until reduced by half.
-
While ground beef is simmering, prepare a 9x13 baking dish by pouring a small amount of enchilada sauce into bottom of the baking dish. This will prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
-
Stuff shells by adding a heaping tablespoon of ground beef mixture into each shell and then filling with shredded cheese.
-
Add shells to baking dish as they are stuffed.
-
Once dish is full, drizzle remaining enchilada sauce all over shells.
-
Cover with foil and bake covered at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes.
-
Serve with diced green onions, black olives and sour cream.
