Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg extra wide egg noodles (16oz); cooked and drainded
1 lb ground beef
1 lb bulk sausage (I use pork, can use Italian)
1 pkg pepperoni
2 jar(s) pizza sauce (30 ounce total)

1 pkg mushrooms (sliced) (optional)
1 bell pepper-chopped (optional)
1 small onion-chopped (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tsp sugar (optional, I use to make sauce less acidic)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Cook noodles according to package directions.
  • 3. While noodles are cooking, brown sausage and hamburger in a pan.
  • 4. Add pepperoni the last few minutes of cooking the hamburger/sausage. Drain the grease from the meat.
  • 5. Also while noodles are cooking, saute vegetables of choice (if any) to add to casserole.
  • 6. Add pizza sauce to the meat mixture.
  • 7. Season with salt pepper and sugar.
  • 8. Add vegetables and warm for about 5 minutes.
  • 9. Toss noodles into the meat/sauce mixture.
  • 10. Spray a non-stick cooking spray into a 9x13 casserole dish.
  • 11. Pour the mixture into the dish. Top with enough mozzarella cheese to cover the casserole. [The more cheese the better :-)!!]
  • 12. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 (until bubbly).
  • 13. You can make this as simple or as complex as you desire. IF you go for the simpler route (noodles, hamburger, pepperoni and sauce) only need 1 jar sauce and 8 oz of noodles. If you go for the heartier version (all meats and veggies), use 2 jars sauce and 16 oz noodles.
