• Ready In: 3 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 1 full crock-pot

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package  wide egg noodles
• 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground meat (venison, beef, turkey, pork sausage)
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped onion
• 1 (28 ounce) can  spaghetti sauce (or 1 quart home-made canned)
• 1 (4 ounce) can  sliced mushrooms, drained
• 2  tablespoons  mixed Italian herbs (basil, oregano, garlic powder, whatever)
• 1 (3 ounce) package  sliced  pepperoni, slivered
• 3  cups  shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3  cups  shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Cook & drain pasta according to pkg directions; set aside (keep warm).
2. Meanwhile, cook meats and onion; stir in spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, and herbs.
3. In the crock-pot, spread ONE-THIRD of the meat over the bottom, then ONE-THIRD of the noodles, sprinkle ONE-THIRD of the pepperoni slivers and one cup of each of the cheeses.
4. Repeat twice with remaining meat-sauce, noodles, pepperoni and cheeses.
5. Actually, you can do this in whatever order you like -- but, please, finish with cheese on the top!
6. Cover crock-pot and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours (the smell will be too much to believe!).
7. Cheese should be nicely melted and browned to a crunchy, delectable goodness around the edges.
