Pizza Casserole

By now, you have probably realized I like simple easy recipes and use a lot of beef! I love chicken but since it hasn't been on sale lately, I've been cooking with a lot of beef. This is a recipe I found in a magazine a few years ago.

Pizza Casserole

Ingredients:

2 cups egg noodles
2 tsp vegetable oil

1 pound ground beef

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1 clove garlic, finely chopped ( I substitute garlic powder when I don't have garlic)

1 ts oregano (I use about 2 ts)

(I also add about 1/2 ts Italian seasoning)

1/2 ts salt

1 can condensed tomato soup

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Heat oven to 350. Cook noodles following package directions. Drain and reserve. (I like the steam in this picture!)

Meanwhile, heat oil on medium-high heat in a nonstick skillet. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for 6 minutes until beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess liquid. Stir in oregano, salt, soup, 1/3 cup water, and noddles. (Isn't this can of soup cute? Pink!!!!)


Take off the heat and add half of the cheese. Spoon into a 11x7 inch baking dish (or whatever size you have!) and sprinkle remaining cheese on the top. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes until bubbly. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
