Stuffed Shells with Meat

If you like the recipes I've saved, feel free to follow me. I love cast iron- restoring, collecting and using it, so I actively look for recipes that utilize cast iron in the preparation (though of course you don't really need special recipes for cast iron). I also love my Instant Pot pressure cooker, so I look for recipes specific to that as well. I'm a huge fan of skinnytaste.com, so I frequently add those as well.
