Cheesy Beef Enchilada Stuffed Pasta Shells - the ultimate Mexican inspired pasta dish that is the perfect family meal for any night of the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enchilada Stuffed Pasta Shells<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This may just be the best Mexican Inspired dish ever. Ground beef with bell peppers and black beans stuffed into giant pasta shells over a delicious homemade Enchilada sauce. All topped with cheese and then baked until melted and lightly golden, yum!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn't perfect enough, once out of the oven I finish off the dish with some fresh chopped tomatoes, sliced jalape\u00f1os, cilantro and spring onions. It's a dish you will make again and again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an Enchilada?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enchiladas are typically a tortilla filled with various choice of fillings and covered with a savoury spicy sauce. Usually a meat protein like chicken or beef is used in the filling along with beans, vegetables or other different combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a great dish for a family or big group of people because you can serve the enchiladas in a big dish with a choice of sides and toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I love to do with Mexican style recipes, is combine them with pasta and you will find various dishes like this on Slimming Eats in my Mexican Fakeaways<\/strong><\/a> - with options like lasagne, pasta bakes and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a replacement for large pasta shells?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes these can hard to source, although usually always found on Amazon<\/strong><\/a> if you struggle to find them at the grocery store. However if you don't like to order things online and have tried to find these with no success there are a couple of other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
