Pizza Casserole Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Cook the pasta noodles for one less minute than the time listed on the package. Drain and set aside.

Brown

While the pasta cooks, brown the ground beef and sausage in a large frying pan. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the meat to a bowl and set aside.

Sauté

Drain any excessive fat and save the drippings in the pan. In the same pan, sauté the onions, carrots, and green peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.

Mix

Add the meat back to the pan, stir in the mushrooms (if using), and mix together.

Pour

Add the cooked pasta and pizza sauce and toss to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle

Flatten the mixture into an even layer, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and add the pepperoni slices.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and the cheese has melted.
