Skillet Noodle Pizza


Kids really love this for dinner!
I've made this skillet dinner from time-to-time for years, but can take no credit for the good taste. The recipe is from Women's Day magazine, 1996. I don't add or take away any ingredients; it's perfect just the way it is. Just wanted to share!

Ingredients:
8 cups water
4 packages Ramen Noodles, any flavor (I use chicken)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup spaghetti sauce
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 cup)
17 slices pepperoni, cut into 1/4- inch strips
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions:
Heat broiler of oven.
Bring water to boil in a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2- quart pot; add noodles and cook, stirring occasionally (3 minutes or until tender); drain in colander.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
When hot, add noodles and press evenly to cover bottom of pan; cook 2 minutes or until underneath is browned.
Spread sauce over noodles, then sprinkle with cheese, pepperoni and oregano.

(if skillet handle is wood or any material that can't hold up to the heat of broiler, wrap it in a double layer of foil to prevent handle from scorching)

Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source 2 minutes or until top is bubbly and cheese starts to brown.
Let cool about 5 minutes before cutting in wedges to serve.

Polish Sausage Potato Skillet


This polish sausage and potato skillet is an easy to prepare complete meal. I sometimes add french style green beans to mine in place of bell peppers, but you can substitute with any veggie of your liking. You'll love this dish!

Ingredients:
1 pound Polish sausage, sliced 1/4- inch thick or cubed
2 pounds potatoes, cooked and cubed (cool first - to keep potatoes from falling apart while stirring in skillet)
1 cup cooked red bell peppers, sliced
1 cup cooked yellow bell peppers, sliced
1/2 cup bottled Italian dressing
1/8 cup dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
In large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sliced Polish sausage.
Reduce heat; add remaining ingredients; allow to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot
