A wild game twist on baked pasta, this dish uses ground venison, pasta, and pizza toppings for a rustic, hearty main course.
Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
1 pound ground venison 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the venison, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary. Drain the macaroni; place half in a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Top with half of the venison, pizza sauce, mushrooms and cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted.
