Sausage Stuffed Cheesy Shells

This is one of my family's favorite meals. It is the perfect meal for a crowd!

1 lb large shell shaped pasta (the kind that can be filled)
1 lb ground sausage (you can use fancy italian sausage or just plain Farmer John breakfast sausage)
1 jar or can spaghetti sauce (26 oz)
2 C medium white sauce
1 C shredded cheddar cheese

Cook pasta shells as directed. Meanwhile, brown sausage; drain. Mix sausage into spaghetti sauce. Add ½ C cheddar cheese to white sauce. Heat until cheese is melted. Pour a small amount of cheesy white sauce into a 13x9 pan (just so the shells won’t stick). Fill each shell with the sausage/sauce mixture and place in pan. Pour cheesy white sauce over shells. Top with remaining cheese. Bake about 10 mins, just until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.

Goes great with salad and bread.

Serves 6 to 8.
