Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Pizza Casserole.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once itâs bubbling, toss in the egg noodles and let them cook until theyâre tender yet still have a nice bite, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes.
Step 3
When theyâre ready, drain the noodles and set them aside for later.
Step 4
While the noodles are cooking, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) so itâs nice and warm for baking.
Step 5
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 6
Sauté everything together until the beef is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 7
Donât forget to drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep your dish light and delicious.
Step 8
Now, stir in the cooked egg noodles, pizza sauce, sliced pepperoni, and a splash of milk, mixing everything together until itâs well combined and bursting with flavor.
Step 9
Pour this delightful mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 10
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes.
Step 11
When the time is up, take it out and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 12
Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating that irresistible golden crust.
Step 13
Your delicious casserole is now ready to be enjoyedâserve it up and watch everyone dig in with smiles!.
