SpaghettiRoni Casserole

Spaghettironi Casserole, or spaghetti bake with pepperoni, is a kid and crowd pleaser.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, start browning the ground beef over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper and onions and continue cooking until the meat is brown. Drain the skillet once after the grease accumulates, returning it back to the heat.

While the beef is cooking, bring the spaghetti pieces to a boil in a big pot of water and cook it accoding to the directions on the package. Drain it and rinse it under cool water to stop the cooking.

Add the tomato sauce, the pasta sauce and the Italian seasoning to the browned meat and mix it well. Allow it to simmer for about 15 or 20 minutes.

Mix the milk and eggs together in a large bowl. Add the cooked spaghetti to this mixture and toss it so that it gets covered.

Get out a large baking dish and gently spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Put half of the spaghetti, milk and egg mixture into the bottom of the pan, then put half of the meat sauce over the top of that. Do that again to make a total of two layers.

Cover the top of the casserole with aluminum foil and bake it in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil from the top of the baking dish and sprinkle the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses evenly over the top and place the pepperoni slices on evenly as well. Stick it back in the oven and cook it until the cheese has completely melted (about 10 minutes or so).

Let it cool a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle the top with some Parmesan cheese if you like. Get out the garlic bread and serve.
