Pizza Casserole

Saw this on Instagram and tried it out tonight on the pickiest eaters in town and 2/3 actually ate it! Decided I needed to get the recipe down (with the changes in cooking time) before I forget.

Brunch with Babs' Pizza Casserole

16 oz elbow macaroni
3 cups water
24 oz marinara sauce
1-1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
5 oz. pepperoni, divided.

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pour macaroni, 4 oz pepperoni, water and marinara sauce into a 9x13 casserole dish. Stir it up and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Pasta should be al dente at this point. Remove from oven and top with the rest of the pepperoni and the cheese. Return to the oven and cook another 10 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then serve.
