I love having a variation of meals that I know that my
family likes and changing one or two of the main ingredients to something else.
Pizza…. Who doesn’t enjoy a slice of pizza? In our little Reeser home everybody
is always a fan of pizza. Sometimes I make pizza crust with having a either
wheat or white dough or others time I choose to do a pizza soup or make a pizza casserole.
The boys had got some yummy noodles that are made with A, B, C and 1, 2, 3 shapes for
Christmas I really wanted to use them.
After forgetting to use the noodles for about a month I put on my menu
board. The best part of making a
casserole is that the ingredients don’t have to be the same. Currently my boys
are NOT the biggest fans of vegetables so our pizza has cheese and meat. Looking forward to the day when they won’t
mind if I throw in some mushrooms or
bell peppers or whatever I am in the mood for.
Thing needed for Pizza Casserole:
Baking Pan
Noodles
Sauce
Cheese
Meat
Garlic
Pepper
Italian Seasoning
Oven set at 375 degrees F
Sides
I had bought some tortellini and garlic bread to
with the meal. There is only four family members in our household and two of
the four are under the age of three I used a 8x8 baking pan. I new we would have leftover from this meal so I only did one of the sides that the garlic bread meaning every one had 1 slice of bread each time we had the meal.
Read the directions on the package of the noodles and make sure that the noodles are al dente (cooked so that they are still stiff a littles bit) because the noodles are going to bake it in the oven and with the pizza ingredients and would not be very good with overdone noodles. I layered the casserole very similar to a lasagna. on the last layer I added some wonderful Italian seasoning crushed up to add some extra flavor on the top! I baked it for about 20 minutes then dished it out.
Yummy! I really like it when the whole family is looking forward to leftovers. We had corn with our leftovers because one of my kid loves green beans and the other only likes corn.....
