Ingredients

12 ounces rotini pasta
1 lb ground beef
½ lb ground Italian sausage
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1½ cups shredded Italian blend cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Drain well.
Meanwhile, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. About halfway through the browning process, add the mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Cook until the meat and mushrooms are browned, and the onion is soft.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the garlic, thyme, and marjoram, cooking for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.
Combine the meat mixture with the pasta in the prepared baking dish. Top with the cheddar and Italian cheese blend.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese melts and the casserole warms.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Reheat in the microwave at short increments until warm.
