We loved this recipe! My husband hates Italian food but he went back for second and thirds for this one. I only used a pound of ground beef and still had more than enough.

These stuffed meat shells are so good! They are very creamy and full of flavor. The only thing that I added was about 1/2 box of chopped spinach to the mixture. (My husband isn't wild about cooked spinach, but what he doesn't know, won't hurt him LOL)! I have tried other stuffed meat shell recipes, and they just didn't taste right. This one is a keeper! I will definately make this again. Thanks!

This recipe is really easy to make!! BUT... it looks very fancy once served. I am not a very experienced cook and I got the oohs and ahhs when I made this for a dinner party!!! Excellent and easy!

This came out pretty good. Makes a lot. I split the recipe and froze half of it for later. I only used about 2 1/2 lbs of hamburger and it still made plenty. I added more garlic and fresh parsley. My husband and kids really liked it. I would use more sauce next time also and maybe used multiple cheese on top.

We did not like this recipe at all. It was all meat and pasta, no real flavor. I would have to put much more cream cheese in to really taste it with all that meat. It made sooo much, I had several pans of it, which I tried to doctor up at future meals with mozarella, parmesan, extra sauce, ricotta - but it still wasn't very good. Sorry.

My family loved this recipe. We halved it and still had leftovers (and they are still just as good the next day!). The cream cheese made this very rich but gave them a different taste that we loved.

I just made this last night for myself and my husband, following the recipe exactly. This produces an enormous amount of food! However, the shells freeze and re-heat easily. It was definitely a hit. However, I felt like I needed more pasta sauce - maybe 2 jars instead of 1. The shells were not completely covered. This tastes delicious and was really easy to make.

These were great. I halved the recipe, but they still made a lot for just my huband and I. He couldn't get enough of them, we ate them every day for 4 days! I also made some cheese shells with a ricotta, mozarella and parmesean blend. Yum.

Excellent! These shells were awesome, the cream cheese really gave them that extra little tang. The only thing I did was add a little oregano to the meat mixture. Delicious I can't wait to make these again!

This is a wonderful recipe! I added a few extra spices like sweet basil, oregano and a lot more garlic. My family LOVED the finished product and has requested it again in the same weeek. The cream cheese adds a creamy texture that makes it unique to most shell recipes.
