Description
A simple baked casserole that tastes like pepperoni pizza.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the skillet with the beef. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the sliced pepperoni.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
- You can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
