Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large onions, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic ( or to taste)
1 green bell peppers, chopped
1 red bell peppers, chopped
salt and pepper ( I use seasoning salt for this)
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced ( or to taste)
3/4 cup parmesan cheese ( or to taste)
1 (28 ounce) jars favorite spaghetti sauce ( can use more)
12 -16 ounces uncooked noodles ( use larger pasta like spaghetti or penne)
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded ( or to taste)
3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded ( or to taste)
6 ounces sliced pepperoni ( or to taste)
Directions:
Brown the ground beef with the onions, garlic and peppers, season with salt and pepper;drain fat.
Add in the Parmesan cheese; mix to combine.
When just done, add the sliced mushrooms, and cook for 1 minute.
Cook the noodles until still a bit hard (don’t overcook the noodles, as they will get mushy in the crock pot).
Add spaghetti sauce; simmer until bubbly; remove from heat.
Add in noodles; toss to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
In a crock pot, put a layer of the pasta mixture, then cheeses, then pepperoni; repeat layers.
Cook on high for 30 minutes, then low for 1-2 hours.
