Man-o-manicotti!

I'd like to thank Donna for solving my last minute need for a blog topic. She decided we needed a Hot Dish in honor of our Yummydoodle Guy Leo!!!!

And since everyone seems to be into the biting thing, I thought this pic was appropriate.

Enjoy!

"Some members of my family call it manicotti, some call it Italian casserole. So I call it Manicotti Italian Casserole. This is one of my all time favorite meals to make, and it's super easy!"
Ingredients:
1 pound rigatoni pasta
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage
1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
2 (32 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 pounds shredded mozzarella cheese
thinly sliced pepperoni
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Pour in rigatoni, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set pasta aside.
3. Meanwhile, brown ground beef and italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. With a slotted spoon, remove beef and sausage to a baking dish. Stir mushrooms, spaghetti sauce, and cooked pasta into the baking dish. Sprinkle cheese and pepperoni over the top.
4. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes.



And now, to kick off Naked Cowboy Week, here's a nice stripped-down version of the popular Western Hero. He may not be on a horse, but even cowboys have to dismount now and then.

So, ladies, don your Stetson hats and your silver spurs and get ready to RIDE 'EM, COWBOY!
