Easy Pizza Casserole Recipe
Pasta, beef, sausage, pepperoni, and marinara topped with melted mozzarella. All your favorite pizza flavors in a casserole!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 ounces dry rotini pasta
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- ½ pound Jimmy Dean pork sausage
- ⅔ cup diced onion half an onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 24 ounces marinara sauce or pizza sauce
- 4 oz pepperoni
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese grated (2 cups)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until it is barely al dente. Don't overcook! Drain.
- Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13"
- While the pasta is cooking, cook the ground beef, sausage, and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat until the meat is brown. Drain off the fat with a paper towel.
- Add the garlic and saute for 30-60 seconds, just until fragrant. Stir in the marinara sauce, pepperoni, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and the cooked rotini noodles.
- Spread the mixture into your prepared pan. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil. (I like to spray it with cooking spray.) Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, or until dish is bubbly and cheese is melted.
Notes
- You can use either homemade or store bought marinara sauce.
- Feel free to add any of your favorite pizza toppings!
