Pizza Casserole

I made this for dinner tonight. I am not a pizza lover. Gasp! I really don’t like pepperoni. This recipe however, its totally good! I will admit, I didn’t eat the pepperoni but pizza lovers will simply adore this. Kids will love it too!

I found this recipe in the Mt. Calvary’s Best Recipes Cookbook from Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in Johnston, SC. It’s found on p. 44 and was shared by Donna Hatcher.

1 pound ground beef

1 large onion chopped

1 green pepper chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

14oz jar pizza sauce

8oz uncooked macaroni

3.5oz sliced pepperoni

4oz shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine beef, onion, green pepper in large dutch oven, cook until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well. Return meat mixture to pan. Add garlic salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and pizza sauce. Stir well. Cover, reduce heat, simmer 15 minutes. Cook macaroni according to package directions omitting salt. Drain. Add to meat mixture. Stir well. Spoon into lightly greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Top evenly with shredded cheese and layer pepperoni evenly on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. (More cheese can be used if desired.)
