Taco-filled pasta shells

This is a pretty simple recipe with pretty common ingredients.  My kids loved it, and even asked for seconds.  If you know my kids, that is a miracle!

You will need:
hamburger
cream cheese
taco seasoning
enchilada sauce
whipping cream
large pasta shells
chips
cheese

Cook pasta shells according to directions.
Brown about 1lb of hamburger with taco seasoning.  When it is completely cooked, reduce heat and stir in about half a block of cream cheese.
Stuff shells with meat mixture.
Mix enchilada sauce with a little whipping cream.  (I have used milk for lower calories, and it was just fine).  Pour a little bit of your sauce in the bottom of baking dish.  Place stuffed shells in dish, then pour more sauce over each shell.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Crush up some tortilla chips and sprinkle over shells. Bake at 350 until hot and cheese is melted.

Sorry I didn't really put amounts of anything.  I don't even know where I got the original recipe, so I don't have it to look at.
