Arrange shells in a casserole dish. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, stirring frequently. Drain off fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Spoon sauce evenly over casserole; cover with foil. Casseroles can be frozen to be served later. Bake casserole in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
