My family LOVES pizza. This casserole is a great way to reinvent pizza -- give the kids the dinner they love with a spin! You can also use up some leftovers in your fridge, as there are so many options for pizza toppings, and a casserole is a great "catch all!" My family likes to make a half-and-half casserole as we are a house divided when it comes to pizza toppings. You could also use small ramekin type dishes and everyone could make their own "personal pan casserole"!
Ingredients:
- 1 can of tomato sauce (15 ounces)
- 1 can of pizza sauce (15 ounces)
- 2 cups elbow macaroni noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated or shredded, your choice)
- Pizza toppings of your choice. Here are a few ideas:
- Mushrooms
- Pepperoni
- Ground Italian Sausage
- Onions
- Green Peppers
- Olives
- Diced Ham
Instructions:
- Grease bottom of 9x13 pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Mix the tomato sauce and pizza sauce together in a separate bowl.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with the cooked and drained macaroni noodles.
- Pour half of the sauce mixture over the noodles, spread evenly.
- Layer half of your pizza toppings.
- Pour the other half of the sauce mix over the toppings, spread evenly.
- Layer the remaining half of your pizza toppings.
- Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and top with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through.
