Pizza Spaghetti Casserole

Since it was the end of the month I was running out of food. I sort of just searched my cabinets and then hopped online to see what I could make. This recipe reminds me of the pizza casserole I made before but since it had spaghetti noodles and was assembled a bit differently I decided to give it a try.

I actually made all this while the kids were eating breakfast, then I just put it in the fridge until it was dinner time. Then I popped it in the oven.  

12 oz uncooked spaghetti

1 lb ground beef

2 ounces pepperoni

1 (26 oz) jar pasta sauce

cheese 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef. 

Cook noodles al dente. Drain and place in bottom of lightly greased baking dish. 

Pour cooked and drained meat on top and cover with sauce. 

Place cheese and pepperoni on top of everything. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. 

It was pretty good. It did need some more sauce though as the bottom portion of the noddles didn't even have any sauce on them. I still preferred my other pizza casserole recipe though =)

End of Preschool

Last Monday was Marley's last day of preschool. This past year went by so fast. Marley is very excited to start kindergarten in the fall that I don't think she even really cared that preschool is over. We've made some great friends and had a lot of fun this past year. Here's some pictures from her last day and from her graduation.

Crock Pot Turkey Potato Dinner

1 pound ground turkey

5 cups raw sliced potatoes

1 onion, diced

1/2 tsp salt

14 1/2 ounce can green beans, undrained

10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup

Crumble uncooked turkey into crock pot. Add potatoes, onions, salt and beans in layers in crock pot. Pour soup over top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

 Overall, this was pretty good. It didn't look so good, but we really liked it. I think maybe a can of cheddar cheese soup or some shredded cheese might of been good too.

Crock Pot Zesty Italian Chicken

Here's another crock pot meal from the library book.

2-3 lb chicken breasts

16 ounce bottle of italian dressing

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Place chicken in crock pot. Pour dressing over top. Stir together gently. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low 8 hours.

It was pretty good. It was kind of plain, so definitely serve it over rice or noodles.
