Pizza Breadstick Casserole




The one everyone has been asking for. This is the recipe that I had the most requests for so this was my true push over the edge to start this blog! I also forgot to mention, if it's not already obvious, I am NOT a photographer. I do like to see pictures before I cook something so I will always "try" to have a picture that goes along with a recipe. :-)

Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
5 green onions, sliced
1 1/2 cups chunky tomato pasta sauce
1 can refrigerated Parmesan/Garlic breadsticks (I bought regular and added the parmesan and garlic powder myself)
1 cup shredded Colby-Monteray Jack Cheese

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375. Spray 2 qt. glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook ground beef over med-high for 5-7 minutes, drain.
3. Stir in pepperoni, onions, and pasta sauce. Cook until boiling.
4. Unroll breadstick dough into 1 large rectangle. Sprinkle mixture from can or your own concoction over dough. Seperate breadsticks and cut into 3 pieces.
5. Spoon ground beef mixture into baking dish. Spread dough pieces evenly over top of beef mixture.
6. Bake 15-18 minutes or until topping is brown and NO LONGER DOUGHY (I double layered some breadsticks so mine was a little doughy still)....I recommend only single layering the breadsticks to avoid this.
7. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 10 minutes longer!

It is delish! A favorite of my husband's that's for for sure!

  4. My husband is a super picky eater also and he loved it. You'll notice that most of my recipes are fairly simple as he eats mostly like a child! LOL
