Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni
  • 24 oz jar pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Brown ground beef with onion, bell pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; drain fat.
  2. Cook macaroni in salted water until just al dente; drain well.
  3. Layer sauce, pasta, meat, and mozzarella in the slow cooker, repeating layers and ending with pepperoni on top.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours until cheese is melted and edges are bubbly.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes, then scoop onto plates and serve with red pepper flakes or fresh herbs.

Notes

This casserole tastes even better the next day, making it a great make-ahead meal. If you prefer a crisp pepperoni top, broil the finished casserole in an oven-safe dish for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
