JOHNNY MARZETTI CASSEROLE

4.5

Kids love this buffet-ready Johnny Marzetti casserole. My mother-in-law used to
make a simpler version of this for my husband when he was growing up. This
version pushes the flavor profile a bit. Sometimes I let the casserole sit
overnight before baking, as the flavors improve and the pasta absorbs some of
the sauce, so the consistency is just right.

INGREDIENTS

 * cooking spray

 * 8 ounces rotini pasta

 * 1 pound ground beef

 * ½ pound bulk mild Italian sausage

 * ¾ cup chopped onion

 * ¼ cup chopped celery

 * 1 clove garlic, minced

 * 1 tablespoon minced green bell pepper

 * salt and pepper to taste

 * 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

 * 1 (14.4 ounce) can diced tomatoes

 * 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend

 * 1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese


DIRECTIONS

    

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

 2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini and cook
    until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 8 minutes; drain. Run cold water
    over pasta to stop it from cooking further.
    
    

 3. While the pasta is cooking, cook ground beef and sausage in a large skillet
    over medium-high heat until completely browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
    Add onion, celery, garlic, and bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables
    are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the
    heat and stir in tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
    
    

 4. Spread pasta over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Italian
    cheese blend over rotini, then pour meat sauce over top. Cover the dish with
    heavy-duty aluminum foil.
    
    

 5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle
    Cheddar cheese over the casserole. Continue to bake until Cheddar has
    melted, about 5 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.

I substituted a can of stewed tomatoes (undrained) for the can of sauce because
it was what I had onhand and because it had onions, celery, and peppers in it! A
great shortcut for those of us with no time to chop veggies. I used all ground
beef and monterey jack/cheddar because that's what I had. Came out great!
Chunky, cheesy, and delicious.

This was a good casserole. It was pretty basic and easy to make. It just lacked
flavor. With a little work on the sauce the dish could easily be excellent.
After you brown the meat and saute the onion, veggies, and garlic, I recommend
doing a wine reduction with a basic merlot (one that you can actually drink).
Reduce the wine on med-high heat until it you have half of what you started with
(I usually start with 1 - 1/2 cups). Then add 1 large can of tomato sauce. A
generous sprinkle of basil, parsley, and italian seasoning. Then add your meat
and veggies back to the sauce. Let simmer about 5 minutes. Then top to over your
cheese in your casserole dish and bake. I would like to add that this casserole
would be really good with eggplant, zuccini, carrots, squash, etc. You really
could add any combination of vegetable(s) and it would be delicious. Next time I
will definately keep the celery but I am going to add shredded zuccini and
eggplant. I will cut out the diced tomatoes and double the tomato sauce; only
because my kids didn't care for the tomatoes chunks.

Take away the Italian sausage, switch to elbow macaroni, and you've got American
chop suey !

Hearty, meaty & really good! I had low expectations and was very pleasantly
surprised - this is comfort food! I used ziti pasta, drained the fat from my
cooked meat before adding the veggies and my own tomato sauce and would
definitely make again! - Aug '23

I made a few changes. More garlic more onion, more Italian spices, more
vegetable pasta and way less cheese. Healthier and very tasty

I did it just as listed but I had homemade sauce in the fridge so I used that
instead of the can of tomato sauce.. it was a very good, hearty meal right away.
Mine had a lot of flavor, But the calorie count is way high 😬 beware

I enjoyed this dish but decided to add some green olives to it, which
complimented it nicely and gave it a little savory kick.
