This easy, yummy recipe is from something I saw Guy Fieri make on Food Network the other day. You know, Guy Fieri, the Diners, Drive ins & Dives, guy? I figured if he said this was a good idea, it would work - don't you agree??
I just took some pepperonis (I had leftover from something else I'd made earlier in the week) and put them in a skillet with some olive oil. I cooked them until they were crispy and heated through. Then I removed the pepperonis from the skillet and put them aside. Leaving all the glorious pepperoni infused oil in the pan.
Then I added the ground beef to the oil, seasoned and browned the meat with garlic and onions.
Once meat was drained, I added one large can of crushed tomatoes (like 28 oz) and one can of tomato sauce (like 4 oz or something like that, the little can). Then I chopped up the pepperoni, which was nice and crispy at this point, and added it to the sauce - you can see the little guys right there on top - yum!!
Brought it to a boil, covered, and simmered for 30-45 minutes.
Mixed with some penne, added a generous amount of mozzarella, baked at 350 for about 10 minutes (or until cheese is melted) and here it is!
Totally yummy & a little different than the normal spaghetti night - the pepperoni shook things up! Yum!
