STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 7x11-inch casserole dish using cooking spray.

2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook until tender yet firm, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

3

In a large skillet, cook ground beef and sausage over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 7 to 10 minutes.

4

Add onion, celery, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Stir in tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

6

Spread the cooked pasta evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Italian cheese blend on top, followed by the sausage and beef sauce.

7

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

8

Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top, and return the casserole to the oven. Bake until the Cheddar is melted, about 5 minutes.

9

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
