PEPPERONI PIZZA CASSEROLE
I made this using Turkey Italian sausage and Turkey Pepperoni in hopes of cutting down on the fat. We could not tell the difference in taste between the turkey products and beef or pork. And it is very good and very easy. Serve with Italian bread and green salad. Enjoy

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a more flavorful casserole. A blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a good option.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some popular options include pepperoni, sausage, bacon, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers.
- If you want a crispy crust, cook the casserole at a high temperature for a short period of time. For a softer crust, cook it at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from pulling away from the crust.
