Pizza Bake

This was a good change of pace. It definitely tastes like pizza. The sausage and pepperoni was a little much for me, but Tom and Sydney loved it. I didn't use all the sausage or pepperoni called for in the recipe. Next time, I may even cut it back a little more. Regardless, this will be a new addition to the regular rotation.

1 (19 ounce) package Bob Evans® Italian Sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
1 (16 ounce) jar pizza sauce
1 (2 ounce) package diced pepperoni
1/2 c sliced yellow bell peppers
2 c shredded four-cheese Italian blend, divided in half

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. In large saucepan, cook macaroni according to package directions, drain. In 9-inch square baking pan, combine sausage, macaroni, pizza sauce, pepperoni, yellow peppers and 1 cup cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese over sausage mixture. Cover and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until sausage is fully cooked.
