Supreme Pizza Pasta Bake

By srumbel

I spend my whole life telling my kids that they can't live on pizza and mac n' cheese. Believe it or not, they're pretty adventurous eaters for the most part. They kind of have to be to be the children of a food blogger. Of course, out of five kids, there's always one that is completely horrified by whatever I made. And sometimes I just want to make something that I know they will all eat and I don't have to hear them complain. This Supreme Pizza Pasta Bake is a meal they all love.

Ingredients

• 16 ounces rotini pasta
• 1 pound ground pork sausage
• 6 ounces sliced pepperoni sausage
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 (14 ) ounce pizza sauce
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasonings
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
3. While pasta is cooking, brown the sausage and pepperoni in a large skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook until the veggies are soft.
4. Add the mixture to the cooked pasta and stir in the spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, and Italian seasonings.
5. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Add reserved pepperoni and bell pepper on top. (see Note)
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.

Note: I like to reserve a few pepperoni and green bell pepper pieces for the top of the casserole. It makes it look a lot prettier.
