Recipe for Stuffed Shells with Ricotta and Ground Beef?

I make these but with Italian Sausage, ground beef should work if you season it up!

1lb ground beef or Italian Sausage

1 container Ricotta Cheese (large)

1 block cream cheese

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cans diced tomatoes (I use garlic and olive oil)

1 can tomato sauce

1 box shells

Olive Oil

-Brown and drain ground beef

-Mix with Ricotta, Cream Cheese and half of the Mozzarella (2cups) in a large bowl

- In blender put the tomatoes and sauce and blend

- Boil, drain and rinse the noodles

-In large glass baking dish, coat the bottom with Olive Oil

-Pour half of tomato mixture in bottom of dish

-Stuff the shells with meat and cheese mixture

-Pour rest of tomato mixture over top, then sprinkle rest of Mozzarella over top

-Bake at 350 for 30 minutes to melt cheeses

This is my husband's favorite dish from his mom, I have to make this at least once a month! I thought it was complicated at first but now it's easy! Good luck, hope you try it...

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
