Turds and Noodles

Remove sausage from casing, and mix well with the ground beef. Place into a freezer bag and cut just the smallest tip off of a corner and use it as a piping bag. Fill each rigatoni noodle with the meat filling. (The bag can break. If you have issues, which sometimes I do, you can just place the meat in a bowl and push the noodles into the meat to force it through.)

Yes, it’s labor-intensive.

Once all of your noodles are filled, place into a lightly sprayed baking dish, cover with your cans of tomatoes, seasoning and sugar. Salt and pepper to taste.

Bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes covered, then uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes. You can choose to bake cheese over it in the last 15 minutes if you’d like.
