Crockpot Pizza Casserole

16 oz. box mini penne pasta
1 lb. ground Italian sausage
1 lb. ground chuck
10 oz. package sliced pepperoni
1 sweet onion, chopped
48 oz. pasta sauce, I used Del Monte garlic and onion
2 t. Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, chopped
16 oz. shredded cheese, I used 8 oz. pkg of mozzarella & 8 oz. Italian cheese

Bring a large pot of water with a little cooking oil added (to prevent sticking) to a boil. Add pasta & cook 6-7 minutes, until almost al dente. Cook the Italian sausage and ground chuck together in a large skillet over medium-high heat, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse. Layer the pepperoni slices between paper towels. Place in microwave for 15-20 seconds to help remove excess grease from pepperoni. In a large bowl, combine pasta, meats, onion, pasta sauce, seasoning, and garlic. Place liner in 6 qt. crockpot. Layer the pasta mixture in the crockpot, add shredded cheese. alternating layers with the cheese. There should be 3 layers of each, ending with the cheese on top. Cover and cook on low for 3-3 1/2 hours. Serve warm with cheesy pull apart rolls and salad. Yum!
