Pizza Noodle Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups egg noodles, uncooked
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb ground Italian sausage
1/4 cup mushroom, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
5 -10 slices pepperoni (depending on the size you use)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bring water to a boil in a 3 quart sauce pan. Boil noodles and set aside.
These steps are if you are using pre-cooked sausage:
Heat butter and oil in a skillet; the oil keeps the butter from burning.
Add your mushrooms, onions and garlic and saute until almost done.
Add your precooked sausage and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until sausage is heated through.
(If you aren't using pre-cooked sausage, cook the sausage, mushrooms, onion and garlic together and omit the butter and oil.).
In a 2 quart casserole dish, add 2 Tablespoons spaghetti sauce to the bottom.
Layer 1/2 of the cooked noodles, sausage mixture, 1/2 of the remaining sauce and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Layer the remaining noodles, remaining sauce, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Top the dish off with pepperoni slices.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and dish is heated through.
