Recipe tips:

  • You can use ground chicken or turkey as healthy alternatives to beef.
  • Add some fiber and a pop of color by adding in bell peppers and tomatoes.
  • Elbow macaroni, rotini, and penne are good substitutes for the shells.
  • To make this vegetarian, you can totally leave out the meat. Instead, add protein by adding beans.
