Ingredients:

1 pound of ground beef 

12 ounces small pasta shells

32 ounces beef stock 

32 ounces water

2 tablespoons butter

2  minced garlic cloves 

1  small diced green pepper

Preheat your oven to 350°.

In your favorite pasta pan add beef stock and water, cook the shells, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Cook your ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook through. Drain the grease.

In your skillet melt the butter, cook the garlic clove for about thirty seconds or so, then add the bell pepper and onion, add drained ground beef back to skillet and cook together five minutes. Add cream cream cheese and mix together well.
