Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, diced
3.5 cups (28 ounces) spaghetti sauce (add more if you like lots of sauce)
1-2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
8 ounces rotini pasta, cooked al dente according to package
few dashes of your favorite Italian/pizza seasonings (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onions and garlic together - cook until beef has browned and is cooked thoroughly. When ready, drain grease from beef and add spaghetti sauce. Next add cooked pasta. Mix well and pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle a few dashes of your favorite Italian/pizza seasonings, top with Parmesan and mozzarella and *Pepperoni (or favorite toppings).
*For pepperoni lovers, add pepperoni mixed in with the pasta and on top.
