Meat Lovers Pizza Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta

Start by boiling the penne or rotini pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside. This step ensures that the pasta is cooked to the perfect al dente texture, which will hold up well in the casserole.

Step 2: Cook the Meats

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until they are browned and fully cooked. Break the meats into small crumbles as they cook to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture. Once the meats are fully cooked, drain any excess grease and set the skillet aside.

Step 3: Combine Meats and Pasta
