Chicken Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Shells – Cheesy Jumbo Pasta Shells stuffed with goat and feta cheeses, shredded chicken and bacon. Topped with delicious Ragu sauce for a delicious twist on an original classic pasta dish.
Ragu has been our favorite pasta sauce since we married at 19. Yes, 19 years old, barely knowing how to cook anything. And that’s when Ragu was my favorite friend.
At one point early on in our marriage, my husband invited a friend over for dinner. I choose to make lasagna. Do you know what the key ingredient was? That’s right, the sauce. Lots and lots of sauce. I totally impressed my hubby and his friend. Score for the new wife!
We still love Ragu pasta sauce. There are so many great varieties of sauce to choose from. You can find all the delicious choices at ragu.com. For this particular recipe, I went with the traditional approach. Why? Because it’s my husband’s tried and true favorite.
Seriously, here’s a true story. One time he raved about Ragu so much that a friend bought it for him for Christmas. Now that’s love!
The best part about this meal was that we got to eat it together. All of 5 of us around the table makes for the best moments of our day. We love to share our best and worst and what we are looking forward to tomorrow. I’m so thankful for family time and dinner is a surefire way to bring us together. Thanks Ragu!
Til we meet and eat again,

Melanie, Thanks so much for letting me know about the contest! And your shells with bacon and Ragu sound delicious!
This sounds good, but I have a question. I maybe missing something, but it says chicken bacon & cheese. I was just wondering how much chicken is needed. Thanks! ?
It’s been updated. Thanks so much! Hope you have a chance to try it. 🙂
What oven temperature do you use to bake them?
