The end result is incredibly flavorful and one the entire family will enjoy! You can even add your favorite toppings just before serving to really make it your own!

Wanted to make your recipe for the Taco stuffed shells however does not specify what to do with the salsa or taco sauce. Do you bake the salsa in with the shells or just use it as a topping?? What about the taco sauce? Will wait for your response before making this. It sure sounds yummy!
