pizza casserole

servings: 7
preheat: 350
ready in: 1 hour
ps this is not my tablecloth

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles (can substitute other pastas)
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (doesn't matter what color)
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni sausage
  • 16 ounces pizza sauce
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • some green onions, chopped 
  • olives
Cook noodles in salted boiling water.  Add a little olive oil if they are especially old and dry (like mine are haha)
In a large frying pan, cook beef, onion, garlic, green onion, and pepper until meat is browned and onions are cooked.  I added meat tenderizer and mcormick hamburger seasoning to the hamburger, which had been frozen, and it helped a lot.
Stir in noodles, pepperoni, pizza sauce, olives, and milk--mix well. Pour into glass baking dish.

Pizza Sauce (I didn't have any so i made some).  Mix together until smooth:
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon spicy crushed pepper
  • creole seasoning (a nice spicy/salty seasoning)

Bake for 15 minutes, then top casserole with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese melts.
This is really pretty tasty.

  5. I have a challenge for you, Rich. At your convenience, please prepare one of my favorite dishes (Chicken Spaghetti), and list what you did to make a more flavorful sauce. Thanks!
