Pizza Pasta Casserole (Freezer Friendly)

Here is another gem from the Tast of Home cookbook. The best part? It makes two batches so you get two dinners for the labor of one! This is a really fun an easy dish to make when you are thinkin' pizza!

2 pounds ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

2 jars (28 ounces each) spaghetti sauce

1 package (16 ounces) spiral pasta, cooked and drained

4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

8 ounces sliced pepperoni

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and pasta.


Transfer to two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Sprinkle with cheese. Arrange pepperoni over the top. Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months.


Bake the second casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.


To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
