If your kids are like mine, they LOVE pizza. This casserole tastes like pizza, but is a one dish, easy to make (and easy to freeze if you want) kid pleaser. My husband likes it too. These ingredients are mostly suggestions, just use whatever pizza toppings your family likes. A loaf of garlic bread and a tossed salad make this casserole a meal.
You will need 1 (12 ounce) package uncooked pasta (whatever shape, we like rotini, 1/2 pound mild sausage, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 (14 ounce) can pizza sauce, 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (3.25 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, cut in half, 1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, 1/4 cup chopped Canadian bacon, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in macaroni, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage and onion until sausage is evenly brown and onion is tender. Drain grease. In a bowl, mix the pizza sauce, tomato sauce. Stir in the pizza toppings. Gently mix in the cooked macaroni until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cover, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cover, top with cheese, and continue baking 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Enjoy your pizza and have a Happy Tuesday!
