Pizza Casserole
1 lb lean Ground Beef
1 medium Onion, chopped
28-oz jar Spaghetti Sauce, or prepare your sauce from scratch
16-oz package Pasta Spirals
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Provolone Cheese, shredded
8 oz package Pepperoni Slices
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Preheat the oven to 350-F degrees. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the lean ground beef with the chopped onion.
Stir in the spaghetti sauce and the pasta. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch by 13-inch oven-proof baking pan. Sprinkle the Mozzarella
and Provolone cheeses over the top of the pasta. Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the top of the cheeses. Finish with a
sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheeses are bubbly. Serve warm.
Serves 4 or 5
Preheat oven to 350-F degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with non-stick oil. Set aside for use later.
In a large mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, and sugar until thoroughly combined. Mix in the melted margarine,
and blend well. Add the milk and stir until smooth. The mixture will be very thin, but it will bake to a cake-like texture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Evenly distribute the fruit over the top of the mixture, and bake until well
browned around the edges, about 30-45 minutes. The finished cobbler should be golden brown on top. Serve warm topped with ice
cream Serves 8 to 12.
The Dip
2 8-oz packages Cream Cheese, softened
2 cans prepared Chili (with or without beans)
1 large jar Salsa (hot or mild, to taste)
2 8-oz packages Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
Use a spatula to spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan. Pour chili over the
top of the cream cheese and spread evenly. Pour the salsa over the chili and spread evenly again. Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack
cheese on top, and bake in a pre-heated 350-F degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
The recipe can also be microwaved for about 15 minutes in a microwave-safe pan. Prepare in exactly the same manner otherwise.
Serve the dip warm with plain or flavored tortilla chips. Serves 10.
