Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry egg noodles
  • 1/2 pound lean minced beef
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 16 ounces pizza sauce
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Step 1: Cook the Egg Noodles

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a boil.

Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water until they are tender yet firm to the bite, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes.

Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

While the noodles are cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.

Step 3: Cook the Ground Beef Mixture

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook and stir the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the hot skillet until the beef is browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet to ensure your dish is not too greasy.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients and Transfer to Casserole Dish

In the skillet with the cooked ground beef mixture, stir in the cooked egg noodles, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and milk until well combined.

Make sure everything is evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.

Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Then, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
