How to Make Taco Shells and Cheese in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

I made this Crock Pot Taco Mac Casserole a while back to rave reviews from my family. Our readers seemed to love it too, but made some alterations. As Cris and I were talking over new recipe ideas, she brought the idea of using shells instead of macaroni. So I thought I would use the taco mac casserole as a base recipe and make some alterations. The result is this amazing Crock Pot Taco Shells and Cheese recipe that I hope you love as much as we do!

I made this and served it up to the family at Camp Lou-da-Cris. It was a huge hit. Mikey said, “Lou! This is amazing!” Everyone else around the campfire agreed. The creaminess of the cheese sauce went well with the pasta, taco flavoring and ground beef. This can be a hearty side or main dish depending on the size of portions that are served up.
