  Brown hamburger and sausage with onion, garlic, and all seasonings. Meanwhile, prepare the pasta
  per pkg instructions.  In a large pan, combine all ingredients. Add
  enough tomato sause until mixture is well coated, but no soupy. When
  well mixed, pour into greased and covered casserol dish and bake at
  350F for 1hr. Remove cover for the last 15 minutes. Then enjoy. This
  is one that definitely tastes better the next day. Hope you like it
  at least half as much as I do. ;)
  
  Note: I prefer it without the corn, but it's not bad with it.  To
  stretch this and your pocketbook, you can use more pasta.
