Amazing Pepperoni And Bacon Pizza Pasta

We originally found this recipe on allrecipes.com, doubled it, and added more things to it. The recipe that you see above is for a serving of 6, so please use, and add, what you like to the meal to fit the type of pizza you would love to enjoy.

Our whole family cooked this meal together, including the kids, and ate on it for two days. I believe that we actually added more cheese to it than the 2 1/2 cups mentioned above but add as much as you like! We also made our own sauce to go with the mean, which took it that last step into fall over amazing!

Please let me know what you think!

Amazing Pepperoni And Bacon Pizza Pasta:

INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED:

8 ounces rotini pasta 1 pound lean ground beef 1 small onion, diced 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (We made our own) 1/2 to 1 6oz can of large black olives 1/2 to 1 cup of regular pepperoni 1/4 cup of precooked real bacon pieces 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. (In other words, don't cook the noodles all the way.)

Get a large pot or pan and brown your hamburger. (I add salt, pepper, onion powder, Mr. Dash, and garlic powder to my meat as I start to cook. Add it to your liking and taste, it gives the meat seasoning of it's own.) When it's done cooking then drain the grease off.

While you are browning your hamburger, slice the pepperoni in half, then sliced the black olives.

Grab an 11x15 pan (I used a glass one); add in the noodles, spaghetti sauce, hamburger, veggies, and pepperoni in and stir them together carefully.

Next spread the cheese out as evenly as you can along the top. Once you have the cheese on top then spread the bacon over the cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.

Take it out of the oven when the time is up and let it stand for about five minutes, then eat to your hearts content! Let us know what you think!
