Classic Baked Penne Rigate Casserole

Classic Baked Penne Rigate Casserole

Ingredients:

• 2/3 (12 oz) package penne rigate pasta, uncooked (I used 100% whole wheat made with whole grains penne rigate from Kroger-where I found this recipe!)
• 1/2 lb or 1 package of lean ground beef, cooked and drained (I used 1 package of lean ground turkey meat)
• 1 (26 oz) jar pasta sauce, any kind you want
• 2 cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese (or other cheese if you want)
• Chopped parsley (didn't have this when I made it so I didn't use it)

Directions:

1. Prepare penne rigate according to package directions; drain. Cook ground beef or ground turkey if you haven't already. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. In large bowl, combine cooked penne rigate, meat, sauce, and 1 cup of cheese; mix well. Transfer to greased 2  1/2 qt shallow baking dish; cover.
3. Bake for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Uncover; top with remaining 1 cup cheese and parsley. Bake 8 minutes longer or until cheese melts. Refrigerate any leftovers. Makes 4-6 servings.

Breakfast Casserole

One of my favorite breakfast recipes! I found it from kevinandamanda.com, but apparently it is just like how my grandma makes it too for Christmas in New York when she lived there! :) Feel free to add veggies or whatever else you want to it also to make it your own! Yum!


Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg crescent rolls
• 1 lb mild sausage, browned and drained
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350. Take a 9×13 pan and spray it with Pam. 
2. Roll out crescent rolls in the bottom of the pan.
3. Brown sausage and drain.
4. Top with an even layer of browned and drained sausage.
5. Then pour in beaten eggs.
6. And top with cheese! :)
7. Bake at 350 for 30 mins.

"If you want to have this for breakfast, you can brown your sausage the night before and keep it in the refrigerator until morning. Then all you have to do in the morning is put everything together and you have a quick and easy breakfast! :) Breakfast Casserole also microwaves up well if you have leftovers."
