Cheap & Easy Stuffed Shells

Who likes cheap & easy food? Yea, me too. This recipe is super easy although a tad bit time consuming so if you're a working woman I'd probably do this one on the weekends. The cheap part also is kind of on you. The way I'm about to list it comes up to roughly $10/meal so around $2.50 per serving. If you substitute ground beef or a less lean ground turkey and/or leave out mushrooms or one of the cheeses you can probably get it closer to around $7/meal. I like it just the way it is. You could probably also make it less time consuming by just boiling some penne, tossing everything together and melting the cheese on top. Hope you enjoy and as always, pin away!
***This is also super easy to make TWO and freeze one for later as all ingredients are half the containers.***
