1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 (16 ounce) jar salsa, divided

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Over high heat, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the jumbo pasta shells and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered until it is just slightly firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain well.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain the fat. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Cook for about five minutes on low heat, or until the mixture thickens.
Stir the refried beans and 3/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese into the taco meat. Spoon the meat mixture into the prepared pasta shells.
Spoon 1/4 cup of salsa over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the filled shells over the salsa.Over the shells, spoon the leftover salsa.
Bake in a preheated oven for forty minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onion and 1/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Serve with sour cream.
