Equipment
- Baking Dish
- 1 Frying Pan
- 1 Pot
Ingredients
- 1/2 Can Marinara Sauce 12 oz to be exact
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Sprinkle Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 Box Jumbo Pasta Shells
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brown the ground beef, and season with seasoning salt.
- Drain the grease from the beef. Add the marinara sauce to the meat. Put heat on low to simmer.
- Spread two table spoons of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Boil water and add pasta shells. Let them cook until semi-soft. Stir often to prevent sticking.

- Remove meat sauce from heat. Stir, and pour over the stuffed pasta shells. Top with parmesan cheese (sprinkle seasoning salt over the top for added flavor).
