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.
