Pizza Casserole

A recipe I found through Taste of Home. My family liked it so much they took it to school for lunches the next day! I like how versatile this casserole can be. If you want all veggies - feel free to add them! If you only want meat - you can have it that way too. This recipe is kind of like lasagna with a twist.

This truly is quick and easy delicious comfort food, a dish most family members can relish together. Made as directed, although the next time I think I'd add some green peppers, olives, and mushrooms just as another reviewer suggested -- "other goodies" I'd put on a pizza! Thanks, Chef on the Coast! Made for Aussie New Zealand Recipe Swap.Reply

What a simple and delicious home style comfort food! It reminded me more of ziti or lasagna than pizza, but that was fine. I used Dreamfield's low carb penne noodles in mine, and think next time I will add other goodies, such as green peppers, black olives, and mushrooms to the mix. Thanks for sharing! Everyone enjoyed. ~SueReply
