My husband's aunt gave us this recipe, which I believe she found in the Wisconsin State Journal several years ago. This recipe makes 2 large pans, so it's great for feeding a crowd! I also love to make it and freeze one pan for later use~ it freezes VERY well!

Categories     Beef

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground mild pork sausage or pork pizza sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 1/2 oz pkg. pepperoni slices, chopped
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
26 1/2 oz jar spaghetti sauce
16 oz jar mild salsa
4 oz can sliced mushrooms, drained
10 oz pkg. pepperoncini peppers, drained and sliced
16 oz medium shell pasta, cooked
1 c grated parmesan cheese, divided
4 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Cook ground beef, pork, onion, and green pepper in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until meat browns and crumbles. Drain well; set aside.
  • 2. Combine pepperoni, crushed tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, salsa, mushrooms, and pepperoncinis in a large bowl. Mix together. Stir in meat mixture and cooked pasta.
  • 3. Spoon half of mixture into 2 lightly greased 11x7 inch baking dishes. Sprinkle EACH pan with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining pasta mixture.
  • 4. Bake @ 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining cheeses, as done before. Bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until chees is melted.
  • 5. NOTE: Unbaked casseroles may be frozen up to 3 months (freeze topping cheeses separately). Thaw in refrigerator 24 hours; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, sprinkle with cheeses, bake an additional 5-10 minutes. Also, I have used two 9x13 inch pans. Your layers will just be spread much thinner.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the cavatini was a bit too soft. I would recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest using a lighter sauce and cooking the cavatini for a shorter amount of time.
