Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil, add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions (8-10 minutes). Drain pasta in a colander but do not rinse.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and kosher salt; cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained rotini, cooked beef, chopped pepperoni, diced green bell pepper, onion, marinara sauce, and 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until well-mixed.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes until bubbly.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top and arrange whole pepperoni slices. Return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the comforting taste of your homemade casserole!
