Pizza Bake


Pizza Bake
Source: Six Sisters' Stuff

1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 (6 oz.) pkg. sliced turkey pepperoni, cut into quarter pieces
4 oz. (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz. (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese***
12 oz. mini penne noodles, cooked
15 oz. pizza sauce
26 oz. spaghetti sauce

Brown meat, onion and pepper in frying pan. Drain grease and add pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce. *Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot (spray with non-stick spray first). Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes and then LOW for 2 or 3 hours until the cheese melts.

*This can also be baked in the oven. I divided mine into two 8x8 pans (this was pushing it because they were both filled to the MAX), covered and baked for about 30-45 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

**This recipe makes a HUGE batch and is easily two meals. We baked one pan, and the other pan went into the freezer for later. There is still over half of a pan left after eating dinner.

***I forgot to add this in, and it wasn't missed. I'll probably add it in the next time I make it though to see how we like it when it's more cheesy.
