Large Combination Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat

   In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add Vegetables

   Once the meat is browned, drain excess fat and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

3. 3

   Incorporate Sauces

   Stir in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

4. 4

   Season the Mixture

   Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine with Pasta

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the meat and sauce mixture. Mix until the pasta is well coated.

6. 6

   Add Cheese

   Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Bake the Dish

   Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top, if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Once out of the oven, let the dish cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
