Step 3

After that, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef together with the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped green bell pepper until the beef is browned.

Step 4

After cooking, drain any excess fat from the skillet. Combine the cooked noodles, sliced pepperoni, pizza sauce, and milk in the skillet, stirring them together thoroughly. Transfer this mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish.

Step 5

Finally, place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, then, afterward, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips:

– Seasoning: Add Italian herbs like oregano for more pizza flavor.

– Cheese: Try different cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan.

– Veggies: Customize with mushrooms, olives, or spinach.

– Noodles: Slightly undercooked noodles before baking.
