Karen Hildebrandt's Pizza Hotdish


This is a crowd pleaser and one of our favorites! It's very easy to make ahead of time, and I use this one a lot for potlucks or meal trains.

Karen’s Pizza Hotdish


1 lb. hamburger
1/4 medium onion (chopped)
½ pkg pepperoni
1 can mushrooms (optional)
1 box shell pasta
1  12 oz can tomato juice
½ c. sour cream
½ c. cottage cheese
3 oz. cream cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese
**I’ve also added garlic/leftover cheese (like ricotta)




Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef with onion. Cook macaroni and drain. Cream together cream cheese, sour cream, and cottage cheese. Combine all ingredients except mozzarella cheese. Put in casserole dish and top with mozzarella and pepperoni. Bake covered for 1 hour.
