1 1/2 lbs. of ground chuck
1 medium onion, chopped
Morton salt and pepper
1 14 oz. jar of RAGU Homemade style pizza sauce
1 8oz. can of Hunt’s tomato sauce
1 6oz.can of Hunt’s tomato paste
1 teaspoon of Domino sugar
1 teaspoon of McCormick garlic powder
1 teaspoon of ground oregano

About 15 slices of Hormel pepperoni
Instructions
Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain off fat and set aside.
Cook rotini according to package directions. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350.F
Combine rotini, pizza sauce, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, garlic powder and oregano in a large bowl. Add beef mixture and fold in well, trying not to break up the rotini.
Place half of mixture in 3-quart oven safe pan & top with 1 cup of cheese. Repeat with a second layer.
Arrange pepperoni slices on top, if you desire. I didn’t do this.
Bake (uncovered) for 25 to 30 minutes (until heated through and cheese is melted).
