Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp thyme
- salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups pepperoni, divided
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 lb penne pasta, dry
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth or water
- 2 cups shredded cheese mozzarella, sharp cheddar, colby jack, etc.
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh Basil optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot over medium low heat, add in your olive oil. Add in your diced onions and saute for about 3 minutes. Add in your minced garlic and saute for 1 minute.
- To the skillet, add in your sausage and ground beef and break up the meat until it is cooked through. Drain off any fat from the skillet.
- To your beef, add in your seasonings, 1 cup of quartered pepperoni's, crushed tomatoes, and pizza sauce to the skillet, and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add in your dry pasta and beef broth and stir well. Bring the mixture back up to a simmer, lower the heat and cover with a lid. Cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick to the skillet.
- Once all of the liquid has cooked, add half of your shredded cheese and stir until melted.
- Top the pizza pasta off with the remaining shredded cheese, Parmesan, and remaining pepperoni (leave those whole if you'd like). Cover the skillet for 5 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted.
- Top off with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
