So, I know I ddnt post this yesterday, and I'm very sorry, but I was so very tired, and then I started getting a headache and felt sick, so I spent most of my day watching a marathon of Storage Wars and drinking Chai.
So, I made Pizza Casserole on Wednesday night, and invited our friend JD over as well. The kids love him to death! I made the same Olive Garden breadsticks as the other night. As always, JD brought wine for the occasion. A bottle of red by the name of Glory Days and another bottle of Australian red by the name of Layer Cake. Both were excellent! I also made a small side salad as well. I THOUGHT I had 2 hearts of romaine lettuce, but it turns out I only had one.
The Spread!
Sam and JD being the "rustic" men that they are.
JD and the kids.
This was a REALLY easy recipe to throw together.
- Wide egg noodles
- 1 1/2 pound ground beef
- 3 cups grated mozzerella cheese (more or less depending on how much you like cheese!)
- bottle of spaghetti sauce
- pepperoni
- In a pan, brown meat and in a pot boil water for noodles and add when water is boiling, cook until tender and drain water.
- In the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish, put a thin layer of sauce. Layer with noodles, meat, cheese twice.
- Add pepperoni to top and cover with foil
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and remove foil, bake for additional 15 minutes uncovered.
- Let settle for 5 minutes, dish out, and eat!!
JD and the kids decided that they liked theirs with a generous helping of Parmesan cheese, but Sam and I decided not to.
Final thoughts? Everyone loved it!! If we could all agree on toppings, I would have loved to add onions, and possibly green olives to the top, but I know that would never fly!!
Tonight is Pasta Tacos, which were leftover from another time I made them. All I need to do is boil the shells, stuff them, and shove them in the oven! Gotta love easy meal night! :-)
