Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
- ½ 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
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 more minutes.
Notes
- Prevent sogginess by draining excess fat from the beef and not overcooking the noodles.
- Egg noodles work best, but you can substitute with other short pasta like penne.
- You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate before baking.
- Freeze the baked casserole in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
