Four Pasta Beef Bake

From: Taste of Home

Ingredients:

• 8 cups uncooked pasta (four assorted pasta shapes of your choice)
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2 medium green peppers, chopped
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 4 jars (26 ounces each) meatless spaghetti sauce
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

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.

2. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl; stir in the beef mixture, two jars of spaghetti sauce and eggs.

3. Transfer to two greased 3-qt. baking dishes. Top with remaining sauce; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 2 casseroles (8-10 servings each).

Verdict:

Thumbs up! I did halve the recipe and it was perfect for our family of four. I used venison instead of beef and it was delicious. This was a really simple casserole to throw together and I didn't have to buy any ingredients for it, which is a major plus in my book! I highly recommend this recipe.
