Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook shell pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 12 minutes; drain.
Step 3

Heat an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef with the onion soup mix in the pot until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir tomato sauce, whole kernel corn, and cream-style corn into the beef; add drained shell pasta and stir.
Step 4

Transfer Dutch oven to the preheated oven and bake for 23 minutes. Stir casserole, top with cheese, and continue baking until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

If you do not have a dutch oven or an oven safe pot you can transfer the mixture into a 13 x9-inch baking dish.

I don't typically alter recipes but after reading some of the reviews and quickly taste testing, I thought I should. It didn't have much flavor. I followed the recipe but then added a little pepper, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and sour cream to taste. I also don't have a Dutch oven so I just used my stovetop and transferred to a baking dish for the oven. Turned out very good! Read More

I couldn't find any dry onion soup mix so I used onion gravy. The tomato sauce comes in 8 oz. cans. I also browned a white onion with the beef AND drained the beef and onions. I did not put all the shells in the casserole as it seemed like it would be too much. Yummy! Read More

Inexpensive filling and makes a lot. Unfortunately the flavor is nothing special. Good enough recipe when you need something in quantity fast. Read More

It was pretty good and I liked how easy and fast it was. Good weekday meal. I did use corn with peppers in it instead of plain corn. I may use less a Tablespoon less of onion mix next time and add another 1.2c of cheese. This may also be good topped with sourcream. Definitely a good recipe to play with. Thx! Read More

Taking a cue from other reviewers I used spaghetti sauce (an ample amount) instead of tomato sauce. Overall a pretty tasty dish. Read More
