LORI'S CREAMY PIZZA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine cream cheese, soup, and Italian seasonings, mix well.
• 2. Add into pasta, coating the pasta and put into a large sprayed casserole dish (I like to use a lasagna pan).
• 3. In a small bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan.
• 4. Sprinkle 1/2 on top of the pasta mixture.
• 5. Place meat choices over cheese.
• 6. Spread pizza sauce over the meat mixture.
• 7. Top with bell pepper, onions, and any other toppings. Top with remaining cheese. Bake in the oven until it is bubbly. I place it under the broiler for a few minutes to allow the cheese to turn golden brown.
• 8. NOTE** The fat can be reduced in this recipe without changing the flavor. I use Neufchatel (lower fat) cream cheese, reduced fat/reduced sodium Fit N' Active Cream soup, mozzarella is already one of the healthiest cheeses, and a good healthy sauce. Hunts makes a great naturally low fat spaghetti sauce that is chunky vegetable (with zucchini, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and more). I do add a bit more seasonings. My family usually can't tell the difference when I get those veggies in this way!! To have a really quick dinner, use toppings that don't need to be cooked, like pepperoni, diced ham, real bacon bits.
