TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 1 hour

Ingredients:

1/2 pound ground sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 jars (28 ounces)spaghetti sauce
1 teaspoon salt

1 package (16 ounces) favorite hearty noodles (I like penne with a little texture on the noodle), cooked al dente and drained

Serve with Garlic bread or bread sticks and you've got a meal!
My family loves this recipe, it re-heats beautifully.

New version
with Chicken!!

I've improved some things here....
Slow cook chicken 5 chicken breasts for 4 hours or until tender and you can shred with a fork
Saute onions, garlic, and pepperoni in a skillet with one tsp of oil. (I didn't do sausage in this verson)Mix with sauce.
Drain chicken, shred into strips, add all cooked ingredients to crock pot.
I used 1 2/3 cups of a Parmesan, Asagio and Romano, then 1 cup mozzarella and 1 cup cheddar, this time I stirred all ingredients together and let cheese melt for one hour on low.
Yum!!
