Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked pasta shells
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup chopped onions
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (3 ounce) package pepperoni, sliced
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups tomato juice
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon dried basil
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and green pepper until browned. Drain off excess grease. Stir in pepperoni, tomato sauce, tomato juice, oregano, celery salt, onion powder, garlic salt, basil, red pepper flakes, and cooked pasta. Pour into the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove casserole from oven and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

This casserole is delicious, but it's definitely not a healthy meal. I would only make it on special occasions.

The beef was a bit dry, but the macaroni and cheese was delicious.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy and rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would try using a different type of cheese next time.
