Pizza Casserole
Pizza was on the menu until I came across this 3 Meat Pizza Casserole Recipe. I didn’t feel like dealing with a crust, and this looked really good. And it made a hit! Just an excellent blend of flavors. This is a simple recipe-but there is some prep time involved. Graduation is right around the corner, this would make a great dish for a graduation party. The recipe says to let it set for 5 minutes before serving. My oldest boy took one look at it-it did not make the 5 minutes. Give this one a try you wont regret it. Enjoy

1 lb bow tie pasta

1 lb mild pork sausage

1 large onion, medium size chopped

    Ooh, this looks yummy. My family is always asking for pizza…I’ll have to give this a try instead one night!

    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.

    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?

  11. adminon 23 Aug 2011 at 4:23 pm

    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!

  15. Angieon 22 Oct 2011 at 4:50 pm

    I made this using our families choice of toppings and it was a huge hit! Yummy!

  16. natashaon 27 Oct 2011 at 1:58 pm

    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.

  20. Brandyon 26 Jan 2012 at 4:37 pm

    Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing ;)

  21. cristinaon 19 Feb 2012 at 7:21 pm

    I have made this in a crockpot. Place layers in crockpot and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours.

  22. Sue Sielagoskion 19 Feb 2012 at 7:51 pm

    Looks Yummy!!

  23. Nicoleon 04 Mar 2012 at 8:52 am

    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!

  24. heatheron 04 May 2012 at 3:28 pm

    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.

  25. Jayon 06 May 2012 at 1:23 pm

    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 :)
