Deluxe Pizza Stuffed Shells

Deluxe Pizza Stuffed Shells

Ingredients:
12-14 Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/2 roll of ground sausage or Italian Sausage (and/or ground beef)
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. garlic powder (or 1 garlic clove, minced)
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
4 oz. mushrooms, chopped (optional)
24-32 oz. pasta sauce (can use a large jar of pizza sauce)
4oz. Pepperoni cut into quarters (or just use mini pepperoni)
2 cups of shredded mozzarella (or pizza blend) cheese

Directions:
Cook pasta for amount of time directed on the package (I under cook mine by a minute or two). Drain and sit aside while you prepare the filling. Brown sausage and/or ground beef with peppers, onions, mushroom, and garlic in a skillet. Add in seasoning. Drain off fat. Put back into skillet and add in half of the pepperoni slices, and 1 cup of your pasta or pizza sauce. Let it cook to heat up, give a stir, and turn off heat. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the mixture. Spray a baking dish (for cooking your shells). Pour 1 cup of pasta sauce on the bottom of you baking dish. Spread out into a thin layer.

Stuff each shell carefully with the 2 Tbsp. of the meat mixture. Be sure to place the stuffed shells in a single layer on top of the pasta sauce in the baking dish. Cover the top of shells with remaining pasta (or pizza sauce), shredded cheese, and pepperoni slices. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly/melted. Let stand a few minutes before serving. I like to sprinkle grated Parmesan on top of ours. Serve with garlic bread/toast and a salad. YUM YUM!!!

Ooh this sounds so good! The very last time I had stuffed shells was in 1992! I guess not many people like making them because of the work invloved. Thank you for sharing.

They are delicious! I had not made stuffed shells before because it looked too time consuming. Last year was the first time I started making them thanks to YouTube and Pinterest :-) So far we have had lasagna stuffed shells, chicken Alfredo stuffed shells, and these pizza ones.
