I opted to use the bake/broil method since I ran out of propane for my grill. I baked it at 450 for 12 minutes and broiled it for 5 min. It tasted awesome and the only thing I'd recommend when using this method is use lemon juice and pepper to make it not so salty to the taste buds. Other than that the recipe was AWESOME!!! I served it with brown rice, corn (for my picky hubby and son)and brocoli and cheese (for myself).

My mother has been making this for years and handed the recipe off to me. After years of making "runny" pies I have finally perfected it. The secret to making it not runny is to use regular cream cheese and whipped cream. Using fat free or reduced makes the pies runny....probably because of the less fat. So my word of advice is use the regular stuff and skip the reduced/non-fat items. Using the regular items I no longer have to chill the 1st layer. Good luck to all!!!

My picky family absolutely LOVED these and my friends too. I made Texas garlic toast as a side item for it. The nice thing is if you half the recipe but use the same 12 oz amount of shells you have more than enough filling for the shells. I recommend buying a second jar of Spaghetti sauce though if your family likes things a little more saucy. Other than that KUDO's to the creator.
