Italian Sausage and Beef Stuffed Shells

This is one of my favorite quick meals that I like to prepare when I'm short on time but still want to present something impressive to my guests.  I love the combination of ground beef and Italian sausage, but this dish is just as good without the pork.  Shredding your own mozzarella cheese will take this dish to an even higher tier.  Be sure to check out the instagram reel here!

Ingredients
24 Jumbo Pasta Shells
1 lb of lean ground beef
1lb of ground italian sausage or pork
3 cups of marinara pasta sauce
1 yellow onion (diced)
15 oz of ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 8oz block of mozzarella cheese shredded
1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
1 20 oz bag of baby spinach
Basil (to taste)
Parsley (to taste)
Oregano (to taste)
Garlic Powder (to taste)
Onion Powder (to taste)
Slap Ya Mama Seasoning (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)
Badia Complete Seasoning (to taste)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)
Directions:
1.  Cook shells according to packaging directions  but minus 2 minutes.  Undercook the shells some because they will cook further in the oven.
2.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
3.  In a large skillet, season both ground meats to taste and cook them fully.
4.  Drain the meats and add them back to the skillet along with diced onions.
5.  Add the entire bag of spinach to the skillet.
5.  Once the onions have softened and spinach has wilted, remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
6.  In a bowl, combine a cracked egg, ricotta cheese, black pepper, salt, tbs of oregano, tbs of basil, black pepper, tbs of parsley and half of the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
7.  Mix well and stir in the meat, spinach and onion mixture.
8.  Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray and add half of the marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan.
9.  Fill each shell with the meat and cheese mixture and place into the casserole dish.
10.  Add the remaining marinara sauce to the top of the shells.
11. Cover the shells with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Garnish with parsley.
12.  Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
13.  Uncover the dish and bake an additional 10 minutes.
14.  Allow to settle/cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
