What do you get when you combine macaroni and cheese with pizza fixings? This hearty family-pleasing casserole shared by Nancy Porterfield from Gap Mills, West Virginia. It's easy and tasty, and my grandchildren really like it, she says. Ingredients:
1 package (7-1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese dinner mix |
6 cups water |
1 pound ground beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce |
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Set the cheese packet from dinner mix aside. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add macaroni; cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Drain macaroni; stir in the contents of cheese packet.
3. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Top with the beef mixture, pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6-8 servings.
