Pizza


One of our family favorites, combines traditional spaghetti with pepperoni Pizza...what else could be better?

7 oz package of spaghetti (cooked & drained)
2 Tbsp Butter
1/3 C. Parmesan Cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 lb of hamburger (brown with 1/2 C. chopped onion)
1/2 C. onion, chopped
1-28oz jar of spaghetti sauce
3-4 cups of shredded Mozzarella Cheese
3 1/2 oz. package of pepperoni

Mix cooked spaghetti with butter, eggs & Parmesan cheese. Place in 9x 13 greased glass baking dish covering the bottom (making the crust of the pizza). Spoon hamburger and onion mixture over spaghetti "crust." Pour spaghetti sauce over all and sprinkle with cheese. Arrange pepperoni slices over cheese. Cover with Aluminum Foil (place a few toothpicks to prevent the foil from sticking to cheese while baking).

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes (it thickens as it cools which makes it easier to cut & serve).
Note: if you make it ahead of time and refrigerate, bake it for 30 minutes instead of 20 initially. I also pull it out of the refrigerator about 1 hour before baking to bring it to room temperature before baking. It seems to be less runny.

Hope you enjoy. It's a family favorite of ours thanks to my husbands godmother! Kids and Parents alike tend to make this disappear from their plate :)

  3. Found this on {P}interest and made it yesterday. It's so quick and easy (I made it in the afternoon and stuck it in the fridge), and the family LOVED it!
