Description

This pizza casserole with ground beef, onion, bell pepper, pepperoni, and egg noodles is topped with mozzarella for a yummy, one-dish dinner.

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
16 ounces pizza sauce
1 cup sliced pepperoni sausage
4 tablespoons milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3 Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in cooked egg noodles, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and milk until well combined. Pour mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 more minutes.
