Three Cheese Beef and Pasta Shells

This has to be one of hubby's favorites! It makes a lot, so I usually make it when company comes over or plan to have leftovers the next night for dinner.

Three Cheese Beef and Pasta Shells

1 box of jumbo pasta shells, cooked (leaving them a little firm make them easier to fill)
1 pound lean ground beef, cooked, drained and cooled
1 jar pasta sauce
1/4 cup water
1 (8oz) tub chive & onion cream cheese spread
1 1/2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (the kind in the bag, not the powder in the canister)
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a large bowl, mix pasta sauce and water. Pour 1 c of sauce into the bottom of a 13x9 glass baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix cheese spread, 1 cup of Italian blend cheese, Parmesan, egg and ground beef. Fill each shell with the mixture and arrange stuffed shells over sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over top, covering shells completely. Cover with foil.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until bubbly and cheese filling is set. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup off Italian blend cheese and bake 10 minutes longer.

Serve with green beans and garlic bread.
