Beef, It's What's for Dinner

OK and some things with it like very stale pasta, old sauce and moldy cheese.
Baked Tri Color Rotini
Adapted from epicurious.com
Serves Many! Like 20-24. Of big pieces. Adjust as needed.

3 pounds ground beef
2 pounds mozzarella cheese
3 pounds tri color rotini
3 1/2 quarts of marinara sauce
Salt
Pepper
Oregano

Brown the ground beef, breaking into crumbles. Season with salt, pepper and oregano. Drain if desired. Add sauce to meat and heat. Cook pasta according to directions.

Preheat oven to 350.

Drain the pasta when done. In a very large bowl or pan mix the meat, sauce and pasta. Spoon into a very large baking pan or casserole dish sprayed with Pam for good luck. I had to use a roasting pan there was so much pasta to get rid of. Big Blue in fact. Yep, it has a name. Anything that large desires a name. Top with cheese and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
