1 lbs hamburger

1 onion chopped

30 oz pasta sauce or pizza sauce

8 oz mushrooms, fresh or preserved

12 oz uncooked rotini

16 oz mozzarella cheese

8 oz cheddar cheese

3 1/2 oz sliced pepperoni

salt, pepper, italian seasonings, garlic powder to taste.

Brown hamburger with the onion and mushrooms as well as any other aromatics you might add.

Cook the rotini to package instructions and drain.

Layer half of each ingredient into a crockpot or deep baking dish in the following order. Repeat the layering again with the rest of the ingredients when finished. You should have two complete layers of all ingredients:

hamburger mixture
Spices
rotini
mushrooms
sauce
pepperoni
Mozzarella
Cheddar

Cook for 3-4 hours on low in a crockpot or bake 20-30 min at 350 degrees F or until hot throughout and all cheese is melted.

You can change this recipe to suit your tastes by substituting different meats or adding other common pizza toppings. Baking gives the cheese a crust. Makes great leftovers.
