    Amish Pizza Casserole

    Published: Jan 19, 2012 · Updated: Feb 23, 2020 by Kevin Williams | 6 Comments

    This Amish pizza casserole one of these classic "throw together" casseroles that are so synonymous with Amish cooking.  Most Amish moms have a six, eight, ten or more mouths to feed so suppers that are hearty, inexpensive, and easy are prized.  The average Amish homemaker is busy with sewing, cleaning, helping children with homework, keeping the stove running in winter, laundry, tending to any sick, writing letters, etc...as the children get older they can and do help with housework but, still, given the myriad of tasks an Amish Mom needs to balance recipes that are hearty and easy carry the day and this recipe is one of those.  This Amish pizza casserole comes from our archives and was first shared in The Amish Cook column back in the 1990s by Elizabeth Coblentz.  It combines the relatively new-found Amish love of pizza with a traditional hearty casserole.  Most Amish cooks will use homemade pizza sauce, noodles, and cottage cheese in this recipe,but you can use store-bought.

      If you include a photo, we can send it to pinterest. This looks better than the pizza casserole recipe I tried a year ago that was based on bsicuit mix, and was very greasy. This one could be lightened up a bit with low-fat sour cream and cottage cheese, but since it feeds quite a crew (I'd guess six at least) with some veggies on the side, it isn't bad. (Hint about sour cream: Put plain yogurt in a doubled layer of cheesecloth or in a coffee filter in a filter cone, suspend over a bowl, leave about 4-12 hours in the refrigerator. Use the drained whey in baking and use the firmer yogurt just like sour cream.)

      No offense, but Colby cheese with pizza is just wrong. If I made this I'd substitute mozzarella cheese and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top.

      I am unsure of whether the hamburger is to be cooked first -- I assume it is, but the recipe doesn't say?
