This recipe is great for feeding a crowd. This makes 2 casseroles, approximately 8-10 servings each. Cut in half to make 1 casserole.

8 cups 4 different shapes of uncooked pasta

2 lbs lean ground beef

2 medium bell peppers, 1 red, 1 green - chopped

2 medium onions, chopped

2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced

4 jars (26-oz each) meatless spaghetti sauce

2 eggs, lightly beaten

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, peppers, onions and mushrooms over medium heat until meat is browned. Drain well.

Drain pasta and place in a large bowl; stir in the beef mixture and two jars of the spaghetti sauce along with the eggs. Transfer the mixture to 2 greased 9 x 13-inch pans or baking dishes. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the cheese.

Bake casseroles, uncovered, at 350-degrees 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and heated through.
