O-M-G!!! This looks freaking delicious!!! Oh, I love how the pepperoni are calling my name hahaha.
Ooh, this looks yummy. My family is always asking for pizza…I’ll have to give this a try instead one night!
Yeah, it’s good, very useful, thanks
I find myself suddenly craving pizza because of this, but I think I’d rather make this than a pizza. Those peperoni look so yummy ;-;
What about trying this in a crockpot? I am going to make it this way a couple times until I nail the flavors we like though, I’m certain it’ll be wonderful
Thank you!
I would say it would be worth a try. Personally I love using my slow cooker.
Can’t wait to try this out. Looks so good and almost everyone will like this.
Ground turkey instead of pork sausage===awesome
I made this last night and it was fantastic! Thank you so much for the recipe.
Do you think you could freeze this to bake later?
I have not tried freezing this recipe, but everything in this recipe should freeze well- I have not had good luck freezing cooked pasta. If you try it, I would make sure the pasta is undercooked a little bit.
I made this the other day for dinner and my family LOVED it!! I am totally adding this to the rotation on a regular basis. I subbed Bow Ties for Rotini, left out the ham, added a chopped bell pepper and mushrooms. Then mixed everything together before putting into the baking dish. It was so delicious, and my house smelled AMAZING! My 15 year old said it smelled just like a Pizza Parlor!! Thanks for the great recipe!
I have been making this for years and it dose freeze well and is so simple and quick to fix. I actuallyuse mac & cheese for the crust. Make it like you would mac & cheese, add 1 beaten egg per box put on your toppings put in oven and then done.
I made a slightly different version and it was a hit. We have ‘pizza’ Fridays and this was a nice break (for me and them!)
It freezes well and made quite a bit for me!
I made this using our families choice of toppings and it was a huge hit! Yummy!
looks absolutely fantastic, this well be a hit i’m sure!!! cant wait to try it out. i can almost smell it by viewing the pictures!!!
This looks like a super alternative to regular pizza! I see by other posters that there are variations to how you could make this, which I really like. I may just make it this week as something different. We do eat a lot pizza, so I have no doubt this will be well-received. Can’t wait to TASTE it!!
I also made this a bit different since no one really cares for pepperoni, but that’s the beauty of this recipe, you can make it with toppings that your family likes. It’s was really very very good and happy I stumbled on your site. It really is not difficult to make, once you get into, you’re done and its in the oven before you know it.
just made this for dinner. i never cook and mine looks amazing. so beautiful i barely wanted to eat it
well worth the effort for beginner chefs.
Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing
I have made this in a crockpot. Place layers in crockpot and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours.
Looks Yummy!!
I’m trying this tonight! I just found your website through a search for Pizza Casserole….I am sure glad I found it! Awesome recipes here!
I pinned you too!
This looks delicious! I will either have to figure out how to scale it down for a household of 2, or make it as is and plan to freeze some.
I made this last night (I substituted ground beef for ham) and added cottage cheese on the bottom layer. It was awesome!! I’ll definitely be making this again soon! Thanks for the recipe
