Stuffed shells
1 lb. ground beef (use Italian sausage for more zest!)

1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 c. broccoli
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 small-medium sized onion, chopped
1 pkg. lg. stuffing size shells pasta
Shredded Mozzarella cheese
Preheat shells according to package directions. Drain and cover with cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
Brown meat and season to suit your taste. Drain liquid. Add cream cheese, broccoli, onions, and soup. Cook and stir occasionally until cream cheese is thoroughly melted.
Lightly grease or spray a large casserole dish. Gently fill each cooked shell with stuffing mixture and place open side up in casserole with edges just touching.
If you have any extra mix, just pour it on top of all the shells, and sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese:)
Bake in 325 degree F oven for 30-45 minutes, or until heated through.
A variation of this recipe for seafood lovers: Melt cream cheese with about 3 tablespoons of butter. Add soup, broccoli, and precooked frozen salad size shrimp or crabmeat (imitation crab is great).
