Directions
1.To make the baked pasta shells: Cook the pasta shells al dente according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
2. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with black pepper over medium heat until brown.
4. Remove the excess grease from the cooked meat and then stir in the salsa and cream cheese. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is well combined, adding beef stock progressively.

Sprinkle the salsa baked pasta shells with creamy, cheesy meat sauce with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips for cooking with ground beef
Ground beef is one of the most versatile and affordable ingredients in the kitchen. You can use ground beef to create delicious dishes, from meatloaves and casseroles to burgers and tacos. When cooking with ground beef, there are a few important tips to keep in mind in order to ensure a delicious and healthy meal.
First, it’s important to choose the right type of ground beef. If you’re looking for leaner cuts, opt for ground sirloin or ground round. These cuts are lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, making for healthier meals. If you’re looking for more flavor, opt for ground chuck, which has a higher fat content.
Second, it’s important to cook the ground beef thoroughly. According to the USDA, ground beef needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF (71ºC) in order to be safe to eat.
Third, make sure to drain off any excess fat after cooking ground beef. This will help keep the beef from becoming greasy and will help to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your meal.
Finally, ground beef is pretty bland on its own so add herbs, spices, salt and pepper to ground beef to bring out its flavor.
These tips can help you make delicious dishes with ground beef that are both healthy and flavorful. With a little bit of care and attention, you can easily make amazingmeals with ground beef that everyone will love!
