foreign [Music] hi everybody now as you can see I am back in my Ohio kitchen now most of you already know that we live up here six months out of the year to get away from the Texas heat now these last few days I have been super busy outside and inside and I've been fixing easy delicious meals today I'm gonna show you how I make everybody's favorite pizza casserole now I call it everybody's favorite because everybody who has tasted it absolutely loves it especially kids so today I'm gonna show you how I make it step by step let's get started so I've got a pot of water here and I've got the heat set on high because this is where I'm going to boil my pasta now while it comes up to a boil I'm gonna get started with my meat I have half a pound of ground beef and half a pound of mild Italian sausage I'm gonna put them in here now I like the combination of both of these meats together see now I'm not going to season them right now with anything I'm gonna wait until they're nice and brown because if I add the seasoning then when I drain it I will lose all the flavor so I'm going to Brown it first just like this now I just browned all my meat look at this and I also drained it see now that's the reason I don't like to season it before I drain it because then if I had done that I would have lost all the seasoning I'm gonna add one teaspoon of onion powder one teaspoon of garlic powder one and a half teaspoons of Italian seasoning this is going to give it a delicious flavor and I'm going to put in half a teaspoon of salt and I'm gonna add half a teaspoon of ground black pepper I'm gonna add half of a medium onion and I have chopped it up nice and fine and I'm gonna add about two and a half ounces of pepperoni now as you can see I have cut it up into quarters I'm going to put it in here and I'm going to bring it all in together like this until my onions are slightly translucent now I got my heat set between medium and low because you want these flavors to come in together really nice as you can see the water has come up to a boil I'm going to add some salt and I'm going to add my pasta I have eight ounces of elbow macaroni now these are the small ones now I'm going to be moving them around like this because I don't want my noodles to stick and you want to follow the directions on the box because you want them all dented just like that so my onions are slightly translucent and it smells delicious in here I'm gonna be adding 20 ounces of pizza sauce you can add your favorite in here and here's a wrist that's about 20 ounces right there now stir it and bring it all in together like this oh this looks wonderful look at this now I'm going to let it simmer on low like this until my pasta is ready so I'm ready to assemble my casserole my meat
