Ingredients:
3 cups uncooked spiral pasta
2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 14 oz jar pizza sauce
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 3.5 oz pkg Hormel pepperoni
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until cooked. Drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, tomato paste, pizza sauce, sugar and seasonings. Drain pasta and stir into meat sauce mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Place half of the mixture at the bottom of a very deep casserole dish. On top of that layer, spread half of the cheese on top and add half of your pepperoni on top of the cheese. Add the remainder of the meat mixture on top of that and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
Take out and add the rest of the cheese and pepperoni on top of the cheese and broil until the cheese is brown, bubbly and delicious! Yum!!
