Cheese Filled Jumbo Shells

Recipe #295391 | 1¼ hours | 30 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: happynana

I took a recipe of mine and revamped it. I don't remember where the original recipe came from because it is so old that is yellowed My DH, DD and grandsons just loved it. When I use my glass 13 x 9 x 2 pan, all the shells with not fit and I have a few left. I stuff each shell one at a time and put them in the pan as I go.
