Cheesy Shells & Beef
This dinner came to me as we wanted cheeseburger hamburger helper and we had none. I wasn’t making a special trip to the store.
The original was a box of creamy shells and cheese with one-pound hamburger. Very simple! The new version has a homemade cheese sauce. Because we like extra cheese!

You could totally use macaroni or any other pasta
