Transform your favorite loaded pizza into a Pizza Casserole with penne pasta, meat, pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, and cheese smothered in marinara sauce.

Cook penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Brown ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove grease.
Add cooked meat to a large mixing bowl. Add pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic, mushroom and olives.
Add noodles and pasta sauce and toss to combine.
Pour mixture into a greased 9x13'' pan.
Sprinkle 1-2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top, (depending on how much cheese you want).
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
Make ahead instructions: Assemble the pizza casserole up until baking and store covered in the refrigerator for several hours. Remove from oven and bake as directed.
Freezing instructions: Assemble casserole up until baking, adding it to a freezer safe casserole dish. Cover well with plastic wrap and tinfoil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed. (Optional: I like to add extra sauce when serving as the noodles will soak up some of the sauce as it freezes).
