Pizza Casserole Recipe

I made the Pizza Casserole Recipe last night and it is really good!! So, I thought I would share it :)

Ingredients:

• 3 cups uncooked spiral pasta
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cans (8 ounces each) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce
• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch
• oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer
• pink; drain. Stir in the mushrooms, tomato sauce, pizza sauce,
• tomato paste, sugar and seasonings. Drain pasta; stir into meat
• sauce.
• 
  
• Divide half of the mixture between two greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking
• dishes; sprinkle each with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers.
• Top each with pepperoni and Parmesan cheese.
• 
  
• Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15
  • minutes longer or until heated through.
  • Yield: 2 casseroles (8 servings each).

The fact that it makes 2 casseroles... I didn't catch until I was already making it. So, we'll see how it is frozen! :) Ha
