pizza casserole

Updated on Oct 29, 2012

I have adapted this from a recipe that we ate growing up that was given to my parents by a family friend. I took it from simple to gourmet with just adding a few ingredients. You can easily make this a vegetarian dish by omitting the ground meat and the pepperoni. I tend to use sausage more than beef because it gives more flavor' but I suggest you try it out for yourself!

How To Make pizza casserole

  • Step 1
    Brown meat, add some onions to it for flavor. I use sausage but beef works just as well.
  • Step 2
    Boil noodles according to package directions, drain
  • Step 3
    Mix cooked meat with the remainder of the onions, half of the pepperoni, mushrooms and one can of pizza sauce and 1/2 to 3/4 cup of cheese
  • Step 4
    Spread meat mixture on the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan. I prefer to use glass pan because it cleans up so much easier.
  • Step 5
    Mix noodles with remaining pepperoni, 1/2 to 3/4 cup cheese and remaining pizza sauce
  • Step 6
    Spread noodle mixture evenly over meat mixture
  • Step 7
    Top with remaining cheese and bake in 350 oven for 25 to 30 minutes until everything is cooked through and cheese is melted
