Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • ½ pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 ounces pizza sauce
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni turkey sausage
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cook egg noodles until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, pizza sauce, ground beef mixture, turkey pepperoni, and milk. Stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Transfer everything into a 2-quart casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
