Nacho Bake

We had this tonight for dinner and it was pretty good. My boys LOVE Velveeta Shells and Cheese (and I do enjoy them myself, much better than the powered mac and cheese.) Eric found this recipe on the back of the box so we tried it and it went over well. It is not the healthiest but it sure is good and very easy and fast.

1 pkg. (12 oz) VELVEETA Shells & Cheese Dinner
1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg. (1 1/4 oz) taco seasoning
3/4 c. water
3/4 c. sour cream
3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided
3/4 c. salsa
1/2 c. coarsely crushed tortilla chips

1. Preheat oven to 400. Prepare shells & cheese following basic directions. While pasta is cooking, brown meat; drain. Add taco seasoning mix and water to the meat; simmer 5 mins.
2. Stir sour cream into prepared shells & cheese. Spoon half of the shells & cheese mixture into 8-inch square baking dish; top with layers of the meat mixture, half of the cheese and the remaining shells & cheese. Cover.
3. Bake 15 mins; top with salsa, remaining cheese, and the crushed tortilla chips. Bake uncovered, an additional 5 mins.
Enjoy!
