What do you get when you combine macaroni and cheese with pizza fixings? This hearty family-pleasing casserole! It's easy and tasty, and my grandchildren really like it.âNancy Porterfield, Gap Mills, West Virginia Ingredients:
1 package (7-1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese dinner mix |
6 cups water |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce |
1/2 cup sliced pepperoni |
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.
3. Drain macaroni; stir in contents of cheese packet. Transfer to a greased round 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Top with the beef mixture, pizza sauce, pepperoni and remaining cheeses.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
