Pizza Casserole

Ok. If you love pizza, pepperoni, and cheese, you will seriously love this casserole. SO. GOOD. My kids loved it, my hubby (who doesn't care for pasta) loved it. My hubby and I seriously fought over the left overs the next day. Another great thing about this recipe, you can change it up to however you like your pizza. Add olives, green peppers, ground meat instead of sausage... whatever you like.

Here we go...

Pizza Casserole

This was the pizza sauce I chose, but it came in a little jar, so I used 3.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sausage (Jimmy Dean)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 large jar of pizza sauce, or plain spaghetti sauce
• 4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1 pkg of pepperoni (I used 1 1/2 pkgs)
• 1 pkg Wide Egg Noodles

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Boil your noodles according to package instructions. Ground up your sausage and brown it in a saute pan with the onion. Drain fat out of the pan and add the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes. I sprinkled in a little bit of Italian Seasoning on top for added flavor. Time to assemble...

In a 9x13 pan layer half of the meat sauce on the bottom. Then add half of your noodles on top. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the noodles. Then cover the cheese with the pepperoni... and start all over. Sauce, noodles, cheese, pepperoni. Done.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the casserole and bake for an additional 15 minutes to make sure all the cheese is melted good. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving and ENJOY!
