After recently discovering the easy lasagna skillet and cheeseburger skillet dishes for dinners, I was certainly intrigued when I found this recipe for Pepperoni Pizza Skillet over at Taste of Home. It didn't end up tasting much like pepperoni pizza, but it was very well-received up and down the ranks in our house. I liked how quick and easy it was to make and I also like how flexible this recipe can be. Don't like mushrooms? Leave them out. Love black olives? Go ahead and throw some in. As a general rule, I don't tend to like things that call for cream-of-anything soup, but I felt that in this case it actually added a nice flavor to this dish. I'd give this one a four-star rating and will definitely be adding it to our easy recipe file!
The ingredients:
5 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef (I used ground turkey instead)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped (or any color sweet pepper)
2 garlic cloves (or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder)
1-1/2 cups chopped pepperoni
1 jar (14-oz.) pizza sauce
1 can (10-3/4-oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can (4-1/2-oz.) sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (we love cheese, so we threw in an extra handful for good measure)
Directions: Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, pepper, and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
Stir in the pepperoni, pizza sauce, soup, mushrooms (if using), Parmesan cheese, and oregano.
Drain noodles; stir into skillet and heat through. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Makes 6-8 servings. Enjoy!
