This is a kid pleaser-very cheesy and topped with pepperoni. It makes 2 large (9x13) casseroles or 4 small ones; I often divide it in fourths and freeze 3. This originally came from TOH's Quick Cooking.

SERVES 20 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef or ground venison
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
16 ounces rotini pasta, cooked and drained
5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (20 oz)
8 ounces sliced pepperoni

Directions

1
Brown ground beef, onion, garlic and seasoning in oil.
2
Drain.
3
Stir in pasta, spaghetti sauce and 3 cups cheese.
4
Place mixture in 2 greased 9x13x2 inch baking pans or 4 square pans.
5
Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
6
Top with pepperoni.
7
Cover and freeze up to 3 months.
8
To cook now: Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until heated through.
9

This is a great recipe. Entire family loved it. Had leftovers and everyone ate again (that never happens) and son even ate extra helpings for "snacks". They did ask me to put more pepperoni in with the mixture as well as on top next time. That's the only change I will make. Thanks for a great casserole recipe!

I had made this a few months back and had a piece left over so I put it in the freezer. I was hungry at lunch today so I pulled it out and put it in the microwave. It was wonderful even after freezing it and reheating it. It was just as good as the day I made it. I am so impressed! THANKS AGAIN!

I made this for supper when the in-laws were coming over and it was a hit! My 3 and 5 year old loved it, and the best thing about it is that I have 2 more pans of it in the freezer for another dinner! Perfect to have on hand for a day when there's just no time to make a home-made supper! Thanks for sharing!
