Creamy Beef and Shells (Page 2 ) | May 31, 2023

Shell pasta – we use medium shell pasta, I think it is the perfect size for all the beefy mixture to get trapped into it.
Olive oil
Ground beef – I prefer 20% fat beef, and make sure to drain the grease.
Sweet onion
Garlic – Using fresh garlic will add extra flavors, but if you don’t have any on hand substitute with garlic powder.
Italian seasoning – Use store bought or make your own using this Italian Seasoning recipe.
Dried parsley
Dried oregano
Smoked paprika – I prefer the subtle smoky flavor, but regular sweet paprika will work as well.
All-Purpose flour – used to achieve the slightly thickened sauce.
Beef stock – I prefer the robust flavor of beef stock, but chicken stock will work just fine.
Marinara sauce – Use store bought or make your own by following this Homemade Marinara Sauce recipe.
Heavy cream – Half and half will work as well.
Sour cream – Similarly it can be replaced with plain greek yogurt.
Cheddar cheese
Salt and Pepper
