Pizza Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar mushroom and green pepper flavor spaghetti sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped fine
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon pizza seasoning
  • 1/2 lb penne pasta
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Directions:
  • 1. Brown the beef along with onion and green pepper until no longer pink.
  • 2. Drain.
  • 3. Move back into pan and add spaghetti sauce, garlic, and seasoning.
  • 4. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 5. Meanwhile, boil a pot of water and add noodles, cooking until just under al dente. You want it to be a bit hard still so the noodles will cook in the sauce in the oven and soak it up.
  • 6. Drain noodles and place into a medium sized casserole dish that has been sprayed with vegetable spray.
  • 7. Pour meat mixture over noodles. We prefer to not mix it, but if you do, it will be fine that way too.
  • 8. Sprinkle the top with cheese.
  • 9. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and noodles are done cooking.
  • 10. Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes after you pull it from the oven. This will allow any excess water to soak back into the casserole.
  • 11. Serve with salad and garlic bread and enjoy!
