Cavatini Casserole - TNT

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 pkg. spaghetti sauce seasoning mix (I use Great Value spicy)
1 large stick pepperoni, sliced (I cheat and buy them already sliced)
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms
1/2 c. each of 3 different pastas (I use only rotini)
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce (I only use Hunt's)
1 c. water
6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
6 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (I usually just buy the Mexican blend)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start water and cook pasta. While pasta
is cooking, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high
heat, with the pepper and onion. Drain any excess liquid. Add
spaghetti sauce mix to the browned meat and blend. Add pepperoni and
mushrooms and blend again. Combine the cooked pasta with the ground
beef mixture in a 9x13 inch pan. Add tomato sauce and water; stir to
combine. Add most of the cheese and stir. Sprinkle the remaining
cheese over the top of the casserole. Bake for about 30 minutes
uncovered.

This doubles easily. I usually add more cheese because my family loves
cheese.
