How to Make Deep Dish Pizza Style Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook one (16 ounce) box of shells and cheese according to package directions.
In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground chuck over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in one (24 ounce) jar of your favorite pizza sauce.
Pour the cooked shells and cheese into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour the meat sauce mixture evenly over the shells and cheese.
Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Cover the casserole dish with foil.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
