Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups penne pasta
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 lb pork sausage
  • 4 oz pepperoni, sliced or quartered
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 small can sliced black olives, drained
  • 24 oz marinara sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  3. Transfer the cooked meat to a large mixing bowl. Add the pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic, mushrooms (if using), and black olives.
  4. Combine the cooked pasta and marinara sauce into the bowl, then toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
  8. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes.
