With the fall weather comes colder temperatures; and with this I crave more “comfort food,” which seems to be hot food that involves carbs of some sort. I came across a Pizza Casserole recipe on Allrecipes.com,  made a few minor tweaks, and it turned out absolutely delicious! It’s a great dish if you’re having friends over, or if you’re serving kids (I can’t imagine kids not liking this dish).

Ingredients: 

• 1 bag egg noodles
• 1 large can of Tomato sauce
• 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I used a low-fat version, but you can use whatever)
• 1.5 lbs of hamburger meat
• 1 package turkey pepperoni’s
• Tin foil
• 9 x 13 pan

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown the meat and drain.
• Boil the noodles as directed.
• Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan (we’re starting the layering process here).
• Then spread half of the noodles on top of the sauce.
• Add half of the browned meat.
• On top of the meat, add some more sauce. 
• Then the rest of the noodles.
• Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the noodles.
• Then pour the rest of the meat on top.
• Then use the rest of your cheese.
• Now add the pepperoni’s on top.
• Cover with your tin foil, and put in the oven for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, take off the tin foil and let bake for an additional 15 minutes.
• Take out your finished casserole, and let is set (and cool down) for about 15 minutes.

Now ENJOY!!
