Cheesy Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza Recipes

KATE L'S TIPSY MUSHROOM PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• If making own pizza crust and/or pizza sauce, prepare them first.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, or follow directions for pizza cooker.
• Spread pizza sauce over browned side of Boboli crust.
• Sprinkle fennel seeds over pizza. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pizza, followed by special gourmet-blend cheese.
• Lay out 12 slices of pepperoni around the outer edge of the pizza, then distribute the 6 remaining slices on an inner circle. Voila, you have marked your pizza for 6 slices!
• Prepare Tipsy Fat-Free Microwave -Sauteed Mushrooms (Recipe#323900), in which 2 cups of sliced mushrooms are cooked in 1/2 cup dry sherry for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes in the microwave, and then drained. (We love Portabello mushrooms on our pizza and the slight hint of sherry drives us wild. For a pantry-raid pizza, drained canned sliced mushrooms will do in a pinch, although it's not as good.).
• Distribute sauteed mushrooms over top of pizza. I try to be artistic.
• Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese starts to brown. (If using directions from Recipe#255466 #255466, I found that 10 minutes at 500 degrees was a bit too long.).
• Cut into 6 slices and serve hot.

PEPPERONI PIZZA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking the meat apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water until cooked through yet slightly firm, about 5 minutes; drain.
• Mix the noodles with the cooked ground beef, spaghetti sauce, black olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese in a large mixing bowl. Spoon the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes.
