Pizza Casserole

I made this the other night and got rave reviews from my husband and the neighbor I shared it with. We ate leftovers the next day and they were even better.

Pizza Casserole

Makes 8 generous  servings

•  
• 2 pound · Ground beef
• 2 Italian Sausages- casing removed and crumbled
• 2 large · Onions, chopped
• 48 oz · Spaghetti sauce - I like Classico
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 ½ teaspoon · Salt
• ¼ teaspoon · Pepper
• 2 teaspoon · Italian seasonings
• 10 oz · Spiral macaroni
• 2 cup · Mozzarella, shredded*
• ½ cup · Parmesan*
• Pepperoni

 Brown and drain ground beef and Sausage, add onions to sauté briefly to soften.

• Cook and drain pasta. Make sure the pasta is slightly undercooked as it will cook more during baking.
• Add all ingredients except cheeses and Peperoni to a large bowl and mix well.
• Add the mix to either a large casserole or 2- 8x 8  pans.
• Sprinkle with Mozzarella and  Parmesan.
• Top with Pepperoni
• Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until heated thru and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
• Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

*I did not add any cheeses to the meat mixture even though the original recipe called for it. You can, of course, do this if you wish but we liked it just the way it was. You can add both types or just one type.

This is really good, I had Filet Mignon ready to prepare for the next night but Garry asked for this again.
