IngredientsInstructions
- 1 box Barilla Penne Pasta or any shaped pasta of choice, really, cooked el dente
- 2-3 cans pizza sauce
- 1 lb. beef browned
- 1 package pepperoni
- 16 oz. mozzarella cheese
- Start by cooking your pasta.
- While the box of pasta is cooking, start browning your beef, then add in one jar of pizza sauce and stir well.
- Once your pasta is cooked, mix the meat mixture (above) and pasta together, then pour into the slow cooker.
- I layer the mixture into the slow cooker by putting some pizza sauce at the bottom of the crock pot, then add my noodle/beef mixture, then add some cheese on top, then top with pepperoni. Then I add more pasta/meat, more cheese, then more pepperoni. Layer the top of the casserole with cheese and pepperoni and put the lid on the crockpot.
- Let it cook for about 1-2 hours on low heat until everything is melted and smelling delicious, then enjoy!
