So, we had a party today.  We were celebrating Evan's 6th birthday, my wonderful husband's 36th birthday, and their favorite halloween.  We had the party 2 days after halloween, so we could get all the decorations at half off.  OK, that's not really why.  It just kind of worked out that way.  We got a book halloween food and crafts from the grocery store a while back.  I thought it would be kind of fun to try out some of the cool ideas.  A few of them ended up being really good, so I will be adding the recipes into my meal rotation.  My favorite was the pasta.  I will not add all the decorating steps.  I'll leave that up to your imagination.  Here's the recipe:
1 tsp of vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 slices of bacon
1 lb ground beef
2 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 slices American cheese, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 pkg jumbo pasta shells (about 18 shells), cooked and drained
Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly grease 13x9 baking dish. Heat oil in large skillet over medium.  Add onion and bacon; cook until onion is tender.  Add beef; cook and stir until beef is no longer pink.  Stir in tomatoes, cheese, salt and pepper.  Spoon mixture into cooked shells; place in prepared baking dish.  Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until hot.
