Every day is a good Pizza Day

Freezer meals are all the rage right now.  So I have my own recipe to contribute! Pizza Casserole!


You will need:
Mostaccioli Pasta, or whatever you want to use
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce
Diced Pepperoni
8oz shredded Italian cheese
8 oz fresh mushrooms sliced (or slice whole mushrooms)
Can sliced olives
1/2 sweet onion
2 bell peppers
2-3 strips of bacon chopped (yes really)
Glad Ovenwear (or something like it)

Chop up the onion and mushrooms, these go in a bowl together off to the side


Then chop up the peppers and put them in a separate bowl
Chop up the bacon and throw it in a skillet over medium-high heat
In the meantime get some water boiling and get the pasta cooking!!

Once the bacon is crisp move it to a bowl (leaving the renderings in the pan) and set aside for later.Toss the Onions and mushrooms in the skillet and stir them up a bit, reduce heat to Medium. Add Italian Seasoning.

Cover with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes then add the peppers.

Once the pasta is done, rinse well with cold water, also rinse the pot with cold water because you will be mixing everything up in it.

Mix the "toppings" with the pasta

Add the sauce and stir well.




Throw in most of the bag of cheese, reserving some to top the casserole and then mix it up!

Divide the casserole between two Glad Ovenwear dishes, top with remaining cheese.

Freeze until you are ready to eat!  Then thaw and put it in the oven at 350 until bubbly.  Or you can always microwave it until bubbly.  Enjoy!
