Preparation

Step 1

Brown beef, drain off excess fat. Add onions, garlic, spaghetti sauce, tomatoes and mushrooms. Mix and simmer 20 minutes.

Cook shells according to directions and drain.

Pour half of the shells in casserole, cover with half the meat mixture. Spread half the sour cream over meat mixture and top with provolone slices. Repeat, ending with mozzarella slices.

Cover and bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove cover and bake until cheese melts and browns slightly.

This is a great dish for preparing ahead, reheating and freezing.

Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.
