Italian Pizza Casserole

 

 

This is one of those super easy recipes that I’ve come to looovee!

 

Here’s how to make it:

 

3 cups noodles

1 pound ground sausage

1 onion, chopped

2 (15 oz.) cans tomato sauce

1 (14.5 oz.) can Rotel

1 (3 oz) package pepperoni

1 tbsp. dried parsley

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Mushrooms (optional)

Any other pizza toppings you want to add

 

1. Cook pasta, drain and set aside

2. Preheat oven to 350

3. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion

4. Spoon sausage mixture into a large bowl. Stir in tomato sauce, tomatoes, pepperoni, mushrooms, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Add cooked noodles and toss to combine. Spoon mixture into baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and bake for 20-30 minutes or until casserole is hot and bubbly.

 

 

I make mine half mushrooms and half regular since my husband doesn’t like mushrooms. I also don’t mix my mushrooms but just place them on top.

 

 

This is also the recipe halved. It makes a ton! I also use more mozzarella :)

 

 

I also save some calories by using turkey pepperoni. There is a HUGE difference between the calories in regular pepperoni and the calories in turkey pepperoni.

 

 

Delicious and easy weeknight meal!

 

Thanks for stopping by :)
