Start by boiling the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain the shells and set them aside to cool. Make sure not to overcook them, as they will cook further during the smoking process.
Prepare the Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until the cheese melts and forms a smooth, cheesy mixture.
