Recipe for the Day

This is a family favorite and a classic freezer recipe. I have adapted it a bit to lower the fat and improve the nutrition:

Pizza Pasta Casserole - Makes 2 large casseroles.

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cans of spaghetti sauce (I use Hunt's Garlic & Herb)
1 box of whole wheat spiral pasta, cooked & drained
3C of shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
1pkg (8oz) pepperoni

Brown ground beef & turkey with onion in a large skillet. Drain and rinse and return to large skillet. Add the spaghetti sauce and noodles and stir well.

Divide mixture in half and put each half in a 9"x13" pan. Top each wtih 1-1/2 C cheese. Top each pan with half of the pepperoni.

Cover & freeze.

To bake, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 35-40 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
