Easy Pizza Pasta Casserole (OAMC) image

This is a kid pleaser-very cheesy and topped with pepperoni. It makes 2 large (9x13) casseroles or 4 small ones; I often divide it in fourths and freeze 3. This originally came from TOH's Quick Cooking.

I'm not sure if I would make this casserole again. It was a lot of work, and the end result wasn't worth it.

I'm going to try making this casserole again, but I'm going to make a few changes to the recipe.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I would have liked more detailed instructions. I wasn't sure how long to cook the casserole.

This recipe is missing some important ingredients, like garlic and oregano.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the noodles.

This was a great recipe. I used whole wheat pasta and low-fat cheese, and it was still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of casseroles, but this one changed my mind. The combination of pasta, pizza sauce, and cheese was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pizza pasta casserole was a hit with my family! The flavors were incredible, and the cheesy, gooey goodness was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
