Pizza Casserole

What's for dinner tonight? Us, we're having Pizza Casserole. Cheap, easy, and healthy. I use ground turkey sausage and whole wheat or omega-3 pasta to keep it healthy. Under $10, easy to make, makes a lot, and you can make ahead of time. Took about 20 minutes to prep, but you're mostly just waiting for pasta to cook and the meat to brown. I used the down time to write this post, clean my kitchen, and eventually jump in the shower while it baked.

Brown the meat and cook the pasta at the same time.  Cook the pasta in a large pot so you can use it to combine the sauce and meat later.  Once everything is cooked, mix pasta, meat, and spaghetti sauce. Spread casserole into a 9x13" dish and top with mozzarella cheese. If you have any pepperoni, you can throw that on top too. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

One quick tip, I undercooked my pasta by 1-2 minutes so that it's not overcooked after baking. Recipe says you can freeze for 3 months. Easy to add additional veggies too! 6 Weight Watchers points per serving. Enjoy! Full recipe here.
