Italian Style Meat Stuffed Shells

This take on meat stuffed shells cooks the filling in the shells for more of a meatloaf texture instead of the typical browned meat. It's a flavorful Italian syle meat mixture with beef and Italian sausage with the added surprise of a creamy melty cheese center! These were by far better than the traditional stuffed shells.
