Creamy Beef and Shells

I can not even begin to tell you how much of this pasta I ate on probably 13 different occasions.

Well, first, I must tell you that no plaque of any kind was involved here.

No This is clearly a pan-type dinner. Just take your fork and go inside.

All that cream sauce. All that pasta, just picking up that creaminess. And the ground meat perfectly crumbled, again, absorbing every last drop of that creamy and heavenly goodness.

Ugh, I can not even talk about this because now I need to prepare this for dinner. Again. For the 14th time.
