A simple and quick fix meal with a fancy feel. Mix it up and use Alfredo sauce instead, or go for broke and go half and half on the sauces!

I home made the red sauce, and used a home made 3 cheese blend of provolone, romano, & Mozzarella cheese for the topping. It did take about a hour from start to finish, definitely worth it though.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.

This is the ultimate of cheesy mac & cheese. I dressed mine up with crumbled bacon but you could add some spicy italian sausage for more meat or change up the cheeses for a different flavor. :positive

You can make so many different kinds of stuffed shells! Growing up I always had it stuffed with meat and cheese so I wanted to try something new . 🙂

This recipe is very filling. I love it because its so versatile. You can use ground chicken or turkey if you don't eat beef.

These are a low-fat, vegetarian version of classic stuffed shells. I didn't put that in the title so it wouldn't scare people away. It's an easy recipe with most of the fat eliminated. And, it's just as good!

I find sliced mozzarella melts better... Fresh mozzarella blends better you could add Parmesan too.
