CHEESY SAUSAGE STUFFED SHELLS ❤

These CHEESY SAUSAGE STUFFED SHELLS is comfort food at it's best, very hearty and easy to make, and its perfect for feeding a crowd. This dish can be served casually at home or it can be served for an elegant occasion. It is made with ingredients we love,, I have experimented with different combinations of cheeses, but I have decided that mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, and Colby jack cheese is our favorite combination. I use freshly grated cheeses because of the smoothness and flavor, but I also save time by doctoring up a jar of store bought marinara sauce, I think we can all appreciate a short cut sometimes. I keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, or if I want to freeze it ahead of time before baking, once cooled, I wrap up the casserole dish well with plastic wrap then aluminum foil and freeze for up to1 month, then thaw in the refrigerator overnight then bake as directed.
