Jumbo stuffed shells filled with three types of cheese are topped with a savory tomato sauce in this family-friendly pasta dish that'll have everyone coming back for seconds! These stuffed shells are easy-to-make and always guaranteed to be a hit. This rich and cheesy comfort-food meal looks like a deep-dish pizza when it's done. I altered what I was originally given because I did not like cottage cheese and added other ingredients that I thought it deserved.

Vietnamese Beef and Red Cabbage Bowl
I love the bold taste of Vietnamese recipes. This Vietnamese beef and red cabbage bowl is packed with flavor and spice and is beautiful in color. I have tried making individual bowls but prefer a family-style serving. Serve with quality jasmine rice and spring rolls for additional savory awesomeness. Add a little sliced habanero pepper to increase the heat level. (I'm from Texas and like heat.)
