Pizza Bake

I don't have the original website this came from.

Pizza Bake

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef 

1 medium onion (optional), diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

8 oz sliced pepperoni

4 oz (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

8 oz (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese

12 oz Rigatoni noodles, cooked                 

15 oz pizza sauce

26 oz Spaghetti sauce

1. Brown meat, onion and pepper in frying pan.

2. Drain grease and add pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce

3. Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot (spray with non-stick spray first).

4. Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes and then LOW for 2 or 3 hours until the cheese melts.

Note:  This makes a lot of food, so I usually freeze half before cooking it.  Later it can be thawed and cooked in the slow cooker as directed above.  

(I divided this into two freezer “Tupperware” dishes and stuck them in the freezer.  I didn't add the cheese yet. Add the cheese when it's time to cook it.  I didn't cook them in the crock pot because the noodles always burn when I do it that way. I baked it until it was heated through.  Make sure you remember to thaw it out in the fridge the day before, otherwise it will take forever to cook.)
