Try this irresistible cheesy casserole loaded with ground beef, sausage, pasta, and a rich tomato sauce - perfect for pleasing picky eaters!
Ingredients:
  • cooking spray
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
  • 0.75 cup chopped onion
  • 0.25 cup chopped celery
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced green bell pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.4 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 7x11-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of seasoned water to a boil. Cook rotini until al dente, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to halt cooking.
  • As the pasta simmers, brown the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked and crumbled, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, celery, garlic, and bell pepper; sauté until tender, around 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Take the skillet off the heat and mix in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before continuing.
  • Evenly layer pasta on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with Italian cheese blend and top with meat sauce. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the casserole. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
