Allison DeMarcus’s Pizza Casserole

Southern Living Country Music’s Greatest Eats, p. 90

1 lb. ground beef

½ yellow onion, chopped

8 oz. uncooked elbow macaroni

2 (14-oz.) jars pizza sauce

1 (3.5-oz.) package pepperoni slices

1 (8-oz.) package shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Garnish: fresh oregano leaves

Preheat oven to 350F. Brown meat with onion in a large skillet over medium heat 7 to 8 minutes; drain and set aside.

Prepare macaroni according to package directions. Stir pizza sauce and cooked macaroni into meat mixture.

Spoon half of meat mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Top with half of pepperoni and half of shredded cheese; repeat layers.

Layers of tastiness!


Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.



Pizza-but-secretly-casserole.


Served with garlic bread!



My Rating: 4/5 "Meaty and cheesy and savory! It has everything you want out of pizza but also has that nice comfort-food vibe of a casserole. The leftovers were still good, too!"
