Four-Pasta Beef Bake
Tasty pasta dish actually makes 2 large casseroles. This recipe is filled with four kinds of pasta, spaghetti sauce, ground beef and topped with mozzarella cheese. It's kid-friendly and terrific to make for company or on days when you're short on time!
Ingredients
- 8 cups uncooked pasta, four assorted pasta shapes of your choice I used bow-ties, rotini, sea shells and pasta ribbons
- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 2 medium green peppers chopped, I used one yellow and one orange because we like their flavor better than green
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
- 4 29-oz. jars meatless spaghetti sauce any flavor will do
- 2 large eggs slightly beaten
- 12 oz. mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, peppers, onions and mushrooms over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
- Drain pasta and place in a large bowl; stir in beef mixture, spaghetti sauce and eggs.
- Transfer to two greased 9x13” baking dishes.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until bubbly.
Notes
NOTE: You can easily halve this recipe for one meal. I put the other casserole in the freezer for later.
