Pizza-Flavored Macaroni

Check out the dairy section of the supermarket for a selection of prepackaged pizza cheeses. They are generally lower priced than mozzarella cheese, and will also result in a great-tasting macaroni casserole.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

4 cup cooked macaroni

2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce

1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3 oz pepperoni, sliced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Drain. Stir in oregano and basil.

2. Combine beef mixture and macaroni in a large casserole; mix well.

3. Combine tomato sauce, Cheddar and garlic salt in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over beef mixture.

4. Sprinkle mozzarella over tomato sauce mixture. Arrange pepperoni slices over cheese. Bake casserole until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
