Description
Some members of my family call this recipe manicotti, some call it Italian casserole. So I call it manicotti Italian casserole. This is one of my all-time favorite recipes to make, and it's super easy! For gatherings, I make the whole recipe; for my family I cut it in half. Submitted by ERINLOVE65 Updated on April 15, 2026

Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, brown ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat; transfer to a baking dish using a slotted spoon. Stir spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, and rigatoni into beef and sausage mixture. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and pepperoni over top. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
