Ingredients

  • 1 16 ounce medium sized pasta shells, penne or rigatoni
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ lb Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 24 ounce jar pasta sauce like Ragu

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and sausage until browned. Drain fat. Add onions and garlic, sautéing with meat until fragrant (2-3 minutes). Add pasta sauce, diced tomatoes and mix well. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Cook pasta according to package, drain water, and rinse with cold water. Pour ½ of cooked pasta in a deep casserole. Cover pasta with half tomato meat sauce mixture, then half sour cream over the meat. Top with provolone cheese. Repeat the second layer; pasta, sauce, sour cream, ending with mozzarella cheese.
  4. Cover and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Notes

  • Add a 4 ounce can of sliced mushrooms if you would like. Sometimes I also vary the ingredients, swapping the sour cream for ricotta cheese.
