Pizza-Flavored Macaroni
Pasta
Prep time:
10 minutesCooking time:
20 minutes“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 casserole.”
Ingredients

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 4 cups cooked macaroni
- 2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounces 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

For a quick and easy way to drain the macaroni, cook it in a large strainer submerged in a pot of boiling water. Then, you can easily lift the basket and drain the water.

Spicy Buffalo Wings
The best bargains on chicken wings, or already trimmed drumettes, can be found in the bulk packages that are often labeled family size. Look for them in the frozen food section of the grocer.
