Pizza Casserole

What?  Casseroles are nasty?  Nah.  They're total comfort food, super easy and totally customizable, which are three main things that every dish should be...

I found this pizza casserole recipe, tweaked it a bit, loved it and added it to the rotation.  Go ahead - try it.  It'll be added to your rotation, too.  Trust.  You can add whatever kind of pizza toppings you like - we like pepperoni, onions, mushrooms & green pepper.  Next time, I might use half ground chuck and half ground italian sausage or turkey.  Mmmm.

Pizza Casserole

Ingredients:

2 C uncooked egg noodles

1 lb. ground chuck

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green pepper, chopped

1/2 C mushrooms, sliced

1 C pepperoni, sliced

16 oz. pizza sauce

4 T milk

1 C shredded mozzarella

Assembly: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook noodles according to package directions. 

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground chuck with the onion, garlic, mushrooms and green pepper. Drain excess fat. Stir in the noodles, pepperoni, pizza sauce and milk, and mix well. Pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. 

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, top with the cheese, then bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.

Nom nom nom.
