Tasty Thursday....Taco Shell Bake

My summers between college I worked at a daycare in Galesburg, Illinois. Those kids had the best home-cooked lunches ever! Here's one of the recipes that they served.....

Taco Shell Bake

1 package (16oz.) medium shell pasta

2 pounds ground beef

1 onion, chopped

½ cup green pepper, chopped

2 cans of tomato soup

1 cup water

1 pkg. taco seasoning mix

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup crushed taco chips

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain. Brown ground beef, add onions and green pepper. Drain grease. Add soup, water and seasoning mix. Simmer ten minutes. Combine shells and meat mixture. Pour into a “sprayed” 9x13. Top with cheese and taco chips. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

and a special birthday wish to my good friend, Wendy......Happy Birthday- hope you have a GREAT day!!
