By Sarah Martens...Updated on March 28, 2025
Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Bake Time: 50 mins Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Servings: 12 Yield: 12 cups
Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 cup onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
2 clove garlic, minced
1 (15-oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2-oz.) can diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

Add garlic, cook 1 minute more. Add tomato sauce, undrained diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered 5 to 10 minutes to develop flavor.

Add cooked macaroni to the prepared baking dish. Top with Italian blend cheese. Spoon meat and sauce mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Cover with foil.
Step 4: Bake
Bake 45 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake 5 minutes more or until melted and bubbly.

Good morning, sixty degrees at 10:06 am. We've dropped over twenty degrees and the skies are still smokey, and we're still surrounded by fires both large and small, plus bustling with refugees.
The closest large fire is the Gilmore Trail fire, which has prompted the most level one and level two evacuations. The cooler weather will help and while we only had one rain instead of the expected thundershower, we're expecting more rain tomorrow. It's safe to say the heat has broken, and we're back in the mid-seventies.
And, it's safe to say, we cannot have hotter temperatures in an old growth, boreal forest, without consequences.
Morning routines, meet and greets and feeding and watering everyone has been done and coffee's in hand, so it's time to see how everyone here and on the wider web has been up to.

Last post by OnLonelyMountain - Yesterday at 10:19:10 AM Good morning Amy, Rick and all!
It was 45°F at 6:00 a.m. this morning. Its up to 49° and supposed to reach 78° as a high, where some of you are starting.
Amy, My chainsaw is a 40v battery powered, 16" bar, from Greenworks. Love it! I've been wanting an electric log splitter for a couple of years. What brand is yours?
Rick, 😂 so true!
Not much to report this morning. I just finished checking the news, my mail and drinking my coffee. Need to get started on dog chores and wood cutting.
