A FAN FAVORITE 

Everyone's favorite comfort food, one dish, all the flavor.

 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
 8 ounces dry shell pasta (1/2 box)
 8 ounces cream cheese (room temp cut into small cubes)
 ½ cup sour cream
 3/8 stick unsalted butter
 ½ cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
 ½ cup freshly shredded mozzarella
 Fresh parsley for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.

2. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked beef to a paper towel-lined bowl.

3. Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté in the leftover fat for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook      for 30 seconds.

4. Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the drained tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the         heat and set aside.

5. Meanwhile, boil the noodles according to package instructions, drain, and transfer to a large bowl.

6. Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and melted butter to the pasta. Mix well until the pasta is coated.

7. Spread half of the creamy pasta in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the meat mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and top with the shredded cheeses.

8. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through. Broil the cheese for 1-2 minutes if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

9. Enjoy!
