Cheesy Pepperoni Pasta



This dinner is a very quick and easy dish!  Here is what you will need:

1 lb. Ground Beef
8 oz. Mostaccioli Pasta (cooked according to package directions)
15 oz. Sauce (I use plain Hunt's Tomato Sauce, because I season the meat)
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
8 oz. Mild Cheddar Cheese
32 Pieces of Pepperoni (yeah my hubby made fun of me for counting the pepperoni, but I liked even rows, lol)
8x8 Pyrex Dish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
First, you will want to brown the ground beef.  While browning, add the garlic powder and Italian Seasoning.  Once that is done, drain fat from pan.  Now you are ready to start layering.  First start with adding a little sauce on the bottom of the dish.  Next step is layer half of each of the following;   ground beef, cooked mostaccioli, shredded cheese, sauce and pepperoni.  Then added the other half in the following order; ground beef, mostaccioli, pepperoni, sauce, and then cheese.

Put it in the oven covered for 30 minutes, and then uncover for another 10 minutes.

This dish goes well with Breadsticks and green beans!
