Baked Spaghetti

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×12 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

2. Heat a pot over medium heat. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, garlic salt and green pepper and stir to combine.

3. When tomato paste has completely dissolved into the sauce, add the sausage crumbles and browned ground beef. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.

4. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.

5. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cheese for the topping. In as many layers as you like (I did 4 but it will depend on how deep your pan is), layer sauce, pasta, cheese, and sauce in the prepared baking dish, making sure you start and end each layer with sauce.

6. Bake in preheated oven for thirty minutes. Remove from oven and place pepperoni over the top of the casserole, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake for about 5-7 minutes more, until cheese is melted. Remove from oven, set dish on a rack, let it stand for about 10 minutes then serve.
