Pizza casserole

A really awesome thing happened after I had AJ: Ron decided that he was now "Top Chef" in our house and would be in charge of cooking all of our meals. I thought I would miss cooking every night because it's always been something that I enjoy, but I LOVE that I can play with/take care of AJ in the evenings after work and don't have to worry about what we are eating! Added bonus: even though he's a vegetarian (and I'm not anymore) he still fixes dishes for me that have meat in them.

So, when I saw a recipe for what looked like a super yummy pizza casserole on one of the blogs I read (ljcfyi), I sent Ron the ingredients and directions and he made it!

It turned out REALLY good but it makes a HUGE casserole. I froze half to eat sometime later this month.

1 lb box fafalle (bow tie) pasta
1 lb sausage
1 large chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp dried oregano
pinch salt
pinch pepper
1 jars spaghetti sauce
1 can pizza sauce
1/2 lb of sliced pepperoni
1 can sliced mushrooms
3 (8oz) bags of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8oz) bag shredded parmesan cheese

Boil the pasta and drain. Saute sausage with onion, garlic, oregano, salt & pepper. Layer casserole dish with sauce, pasta, sauce, sausage, cheeses, pasta, mushrooms, sauce, cheeses then pepperoni.


Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
