Tomorrow is shopping day!!! I can't wait to get the ingredients of the new recipes I've been dying to try over the last two weeks! Pay day is almost here :) But for today, I'll do another recipe from my Tried and Reviewed board on Pinterest. I got this recipe in an email from Better Homes and Gardens. They are a great site that I would actually recommend signing up for their emails. So many yummy recipes and good ideas come to my inbox from them. This recipe for Chicken Enchilada Pasta was in a collection of favorite casserole dishes. It has a close cousin floating around on Pinterest going by Mexican Stuffed Shells. Whatever you want to call it, it is surprisingly good! I didn't think I would like refried beans stuffed in a pasta shell, but I was happily proven wrong. I've made this recipe a few times for ourselves and once for a potluck. The dish always comes back empty, so that's a good sign!
The only thing I changed about the recipe was eliminating the jalapenos (not kid friendly) and the chips on top. I didn't think it really needed any more calories, and they are just for texture. Top the shells with sour cream or guacamole. Yum!
NOTE: The shells freeze well! I had some leftover and I put them in an air tight container with some space between each shell. Then whenever I wanted a hot lunch, I just pulled one or two shells out and microwaved them for a quick treat. Surprisingly good!
