I found this recipe the other day and knew my dh would love it. The thing is, I was impatient and needed a meal for that night - yet I didn't have time to use the crock pot. So I simply changed it up a bit and baked it in the oven.

I used ground beef and some cut up sausage as my meat. I also added some chopped red pepper, and other spices to kick it up a notch. I used an 8X8 glass baking dish with TWO layers of the ingredients. I baked it at 350 degrees for about 30 min or so.

It turned out great! My dh loved the taste and my babies loved the noodles. My dh also did request I use the pepperoni next time (I just didn't have any on hand). Next time I will also cover the dish with foil to keep the noodles from getting too much of a "crust" on them - then it is too hard for my babies to eat.

Loved it, loved it! Thanks so much for posting!
