The beauty of this recipe is that, unlike most options, it is dairy-free. (However, we have a variation below that suggests adding all the cream and cheese your dairy-loving heart desires.)<\/p>\n<p>Our ground beef and shells recipe is also a canvas for whatever spice blend tickles your fancy for the evening.

When adding the pasta, also stir in 1\/2 cup of your favorite melting cheese, like a young cheddar or Monterey Jack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incorporate spices:\u00a0<\/strong>When cooking the ground beef and onions, add whatever spices or spice blends you love. Try chili powder and cayenne for a little spice, an herb and garlic blend, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-make-taco-seasoning-plus-12-more-must-know-spice-blends\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-make-taco-seasoning-plus-12-more-must-know-spice-blends\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">one of these custom spice blends<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use more veggies: <\/strong>This recipe has a base of onions and tomatoes, but it&#8217;s simple to bulk up the veggies either by sauteing additional vegetables along with the onions (think zucchini or celery) or adding quick-cooking frozen peas or greens during the final simmer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add beans:\u00a0<\/strong>A simple way to make the dish heartier and to add more protein without adding more meat is with a can of beans (rinsed and drained well). Dark red kidney beans or black beans would work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Beef and Shells<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftover ground beef and shells covered in the refrigerator for three to five days. Heat gently in a saucepan or the microwave, adding a little water or broth to loosen the sauce if needed.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze beef and shells?<\/h3>\n<p>Freeze the meat and sauce mixture without the pasta shells for up to six months.

Crushed tomatoes will be slightly chunkier, giving the shells and beef recipe some texture.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a different pasta shape?<\/h3>\n<p>Shells are ideal because they catch sauce and bits of beef for a full-flavored bite.
