I love stuffed shells. This version takes the shells up a notch for being kid friendly without leaving the adults out. Well done.
Anything Pizza is hubby’s middle name so I know we will absolutely love these.
I like the idea that these can be made ahead of time and frozen. I like the ‘make-ahead’ meals for future use.
