So this is kind of a funny story. 

Last week when I made our meal plan I totally miscalculated everything we had in our freezer. When I went to pull some chicken out for Monday's meal I realized all we had was sausage. Three different types of frozen sausage!

I told my husband I was NOT going back to the store so I hoped he liked sausage. He didn't complain. 

So I whipped this up and boy was it good. Creamy Sausage Stuffed Shells. 

What you'll need:

1/2 pound ground sausage (or turkey or beef or chicken etc. etc.)

1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese

1/2 an onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 jar tomato sauce 

20 large pasta shells

1 cup cheese divided 

Cook your shells according to package instructions. 

Brown your sausage in a pan over medium heat. Then add your diced onion and your garlic.

Add your cream cheese and about 1/4 cup sauce. Stir, stir, stir until all the cream cheese is melted and everything is combined into yummy, yummy goodness.
