Easy Pizza Pasta Casserole
A baked pasta dish that is giving pizza all day long!
This is definitely one of my new favorite pasta dishes - my husband gobbled it up. When I mentioned it was basically baked spaghetti with pepperoni on top, he dismissed it. He is not a fan of baked spaghetti - which is honestly a mystery to me. I don't know. Anyways, he liked this a lot. The kids liked it a lot. I thought it was one of the best baked spaghetti-esque recipes I've had, so it's a keeper!
What you need:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 jar spaghetti sauce
8 oz. rotini pasta
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
Sliced pepperoni
Directions:
Brown ground beef with onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning IN the olive oil; drain.
Meanwhile, cook pasta and drain.
Add pasta, spaghetti sauce and 2 cups cheese and stir.
Pour into a lightly greased 8x8-inch square baking dish.
Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and enough pepperoni to cover the top.
Bake at 350* for 25 to 30 minutes.
