By beandip

Ingredients

• 1 lb. rigatoni (uncooked)
• 2 jars tomato sauce (or your own marinara sauce)
• 1 tbs. dried oregano
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 lb. Italian sausage, (removed from casing)
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 green pepper, roughly chopped
• 1-2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• sliced pepperoni

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Remove from pan and set aside. Do the same thing with the sausage, making sure to break it up into small pieces. Meanwhile, mix the sauce, uncooked pasta, and oregano in a large bowl until the pasta is well coated. Spray the inside of a large crock pot with cooking spray.
Now make layers using half of each ingredient and then repeat using the other half. Layer in this order: Pasta, beef, sausage, onions, peppers, mushrooms, cheese. Place slices of pepperoni on the top and sprinkle with a little more oregano. Cook on low for about 6 hours.
