Pepperoni Pizza Mac Casserole image

Try using 2 jars of pizza sauce instead of 1 jar and the can of tomatoes. This will give the finished dish more of a "pizza" flavor. Try adding other pizza toppings you may like (mushrooms, ham, use Italian sausage instead of ground beef, etc.). The possibilities are endless!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 oz elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 c chopped green bell pepper
1 jar(s) (14 ounces) pizza sauce
1 can(s) (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, italian style, undrained
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp italian seasoning
4 oz sliced pepperoni

This casserole was a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra sauce next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The casserole was cooked evenly and the cheese was melted and bubbly. I would definitely make this again.

I had some trouble finding some of the ingredients, but I was able to substitute them with other things I had on hand. The casserole still turned out great.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a milder pepperoni.
