Minced onion
Green pepper, to taste
2 (28oz.) jars spaghetti sauce
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning

Brown hamburger, onion, pepper; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, pasta, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Transfer to 2 greased 9x13-inch pans. Arrange pepperoni on top. Sprinkle with cheeses. Cover and freeze one casserole up to 3 months. Bake the second casserole, uncovered, at 350-degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through. To use frozen casserole, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350-degrees for 35-40 minutes. Yield: 2 casseroles (8 servings each).

As you can see by the picture, DH can't wait to have this casserole. The original recipe doesn't have the spices, but I think it adds a lot. Use Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti sauce or add some veges, use whatever pasta you have on hand. I usually have one of these in the freezer.
