Creamy Beef and Shells

Best served immediately for creamy texture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess.

Variations

Vegetable Boost: Add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.

Spicy Twist: Sprinkle red pepper flakes into the sauce.

Cheese Upgrade: Use a blend of mozzarella, fontina, and provolone for richer flavor.
