INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound of ground Italian sausage, browned and drained

• 1/2 pound of ground beef, browned and drained

• 1/2 large white onion, chopped

• 8 ounce box of short pasta (rigatoni, penne or ziti), cooked... but undercooked slightly

• (3) 14 ounce jars of pizza sauce

• 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

• 8 ounce package of sliced pepperoni, placed between paper towels and microwaved for a few seconds to remove all the grease

• 16 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl mix everything together except for the mozzarella cheese

2. Spray the inside of a 4 - 6 quart Crock-Pot with non-stick spray

3. Layer the mixture alternately with the shredded mozzarella cheese (three layers, ending with the cheese on top)

4. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. If cooked for longer than 4 hours or on high it may burn (THREE hours worked perfectly for me)
