Shotgun Shells Recipe (Oven Baked)
Notes
*If you want to boil the shells first, boil them for 2-3 minutes. Drain, rinse and make sure the shells hold their shape. If you see that some have collapsed, gently open them up, if possible.
I have found that the moisture in the meat, and the fat from the bacon, is sufficient enough to cook the noodles.
