Recipe Introduction
Hello from Seattle, again. I am typing this while my two dogs wrestle
with each other at my feet. Years ago, I needed something to make for
young kids, and a friend sent this in to me. It was not only the kids
who liked this recipe, but their parents ate with gusto, even those
professing that they really didn't like "pizza things." Because I
tend to cook by adding more of some ingredients, I included the
measurements I received.
List of Ingredients
1 - 1.5 lbs Italian Sausage or ground beef (a
combination is good)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 pound sliced pepperoni or less if using
Italian Sausage
**1/4 tsp finely ground red pepper
1 can (4 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 jar (28 oz) spaghetti sauce or 3 -4 cups of
your own sauce
3 cups rigatoni or other small pasta, cooked and
drained
2 cups (8oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, gratedRecipe
In a large skillet, cook beef, onion, green pepper and garlic powder,
and red pepper, until meat is browned and vegetables are tender;
drain. Stir in pepperoni, mushrooms and spaghetti sauce. Place
noodles in a greased 13-in. x 9- in. x 2-in. baking dish. Top with
the beef mixture; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake uncovered, at 375
degrees for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for l0 minutes
before serving. Yield: 8-10 servings
