Cook shells al dente according to package directions. Cook onion and pepper in butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder.

Top with remaining cheese. Bake 30-35 minutes.
• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef • Lasagna noodles, cooked 1/2 medium red onion, chopped according to package instructions • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped (I use the oven-ready lasagna 2 jars spaghetti sauce (I like garlic noodles from Creamette) spaghetti sauce) • 1 to 1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican • 1 tsp. dried basil cheese mix • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano • 1 to 1-1/2 cups shredded • 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes Mozzarella cheese Chives, optional Brown ground beef; add onions, spaghetti sauce and herbs. Simmer for 10 minutes. In 9x13 inch pan, alternate three layers of each in this order: lasagna noodles, meat sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour. If it starts to get too brown before it is done, cover with aluminum foil. Experiment with various types of cheese for a different taste.
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Submitted by Jaime Ostendorf, Sales “We love anything broccoli & cheese at my house. Here’s an easy five-ingredient broccoli cheese soup!”
Easy Baked Brie in Puff Pastry Submitted by Jenn Coyne, staff writer; recipe from SimplyRecipes.com • 1 large sheet puff pastry dough OR • 2 Tbsp. raspberry or other sweet 1 tube refrigerated crescent dinner jam rolls • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar • 1 round or wedge Brie cheese • 1/4 cup maple syrup Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Brie rind is edible but if desired, carefully slice the thin top of the rind off with a sharp knife. This may help the crust stay with the cheese when served. On a lined baking sheet, lay out the puff pastry or the crescent rolls flat. Place the brie round or wedge on top of the puff pastry. Spread jam on brie, fold dough over top, cutting off excess dough. Drizzle maple syrup and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Bake for 30 minutes; pastry should be golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve with crackers or apple slices.
• 4 cups broccoli, cut into florets too) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup heavy cream 3-1/2 cups chicken broth 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (vegetable or bone broth work In a large pot over medium heat, sauté garlic for one minute, until fragrant. Add the broth, heavy cream and chopped broccoli. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-20 minutes, until broccoli is tender. Add the cheese gradually, stirring constantly, and continue to stir until melted. (Add 1/2 cup, simmer and stir until it melts fully, then repeat 1/2 cup at a time until all the cheese is used up.) Make sure to keep it at a very low simmer and avoid high heat, to prevent seizing. Remove from heat immediately once all the cheese melts. Enjoy!
