Categories     Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound rotini pasta, cooked and drained (ziti, small or medium shells, or another small-shaped pasta may be substituted)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet Vidalia onion, diced small
1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 cups pizza or marina sauce
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
24 pepperoni
fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high and spray a 9×13-inch baking or casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  • To a stockpot, cook the pasta according to the manufacturer's directions; drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, to a Dutch oven or other large pot, add the olive oil, onion, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften; stir occasionally.
  • Add the beef, evenly sprinkle with the oregano, salt, pepper, and crumble beef as it cooks to encourage even cooking; stir frequently.
  • After the beef is cooked through, add the pizza sauce, cooked pasta, and stir very well to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish, evenly top with the cheese, pepperoni, and broil for about 3 minutes, or until cheese has melted or is as browned as desired. Watch it very closely because cheese can burn extremely quickly under the broiler, sometimes in a matter of 15 seconds.
  • Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

PEPPERONI PIZZA MAC CASSEROLE



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!
