Beef PizzaBread Casserole
1 pound, at least 80% lean ground beef
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
5 Tablespoons sliced green onions, (scallion type)
1 1/2 cups chunky spaghetti sauce
1, 10.6 ounce package refrigerated
...Parmesan breadsticks with garlic
1 cup shredded Colby/Monterey Jack cheese blend
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 12x8x2 inch glass baking
dish with cooking spray, (2 quart).
Using a 10 inch skillet, cook ground beef over medium/high
heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly
cooked; drain.
Stir in pepperoni, onions and sauce. Cook until boiling, stirring
frequently.
Meanwhile, unroll dough into 1 large rectanble. Spread garlic
mixture from package evenly over dough. Separate dough into
10 breadsticks. Cut each breadstick into 3 crosswise pieces.
(I didn't cut them, I just kept them whole and didn't really
separate them either.).
Spoon ground beef mixture into baking dish. Spread dough
pieces over hot ground beef mixture. (To ensure that the
undersides of the breadsticks cook completely, be sure the
meat mixture is piping hot when you place the breadsticks
on top.)
Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until topping is golden brown and no
longer doughy. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer
or until cheese is melted.
Makes 6 servings.
Note:
If you like green olives, add 1/4 cup halved pimiento-stuffed
green olives to the sauce mixture.
