Pizza Casserole
This IS as yummy as it looks! It’s Hub’s new favorite recipe!
Ingredients:
- Elbow Macaroni (or any other noodle you choose – egg noodles work well too)
- Large jar or can of your favorite tomato sauce
- Mozarella cheese (3 cups or more depending on how much you like cheese)
- 1 to 1.5 pounds of cooked ground beef
- 1 package of pepperoni (I only used half the pack)
Directions:
Cook noodles until barely tender – you do not want to overcook!
Preheat over to 350.
Add a (not too deep) layer of noodles. Top with half the meat and half the sauce. Add another layer of noodles. Top with half the cheese, then the remainder of the meat. Pour on the rest of the sauce. Top with the rest of the cheese and cover with pepperoni.
Cover with foil and back for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes after baking or it will fall apart.
What pan size did you use?
I think that was a 2.5 qt dish but you can make it bigger or smaller to fit your family just by increasing or decreasing ingredients.
Do you cook the noodles before you put it in the pan?
oops…I left that out. Yes, I do. But just until barely tender. Don’t overcook them!
