When I make a meal for my family, my goal is to make something that my family will enjoy, especially my kids. My other goal is to make a meal that is simple to make with ingredients that I either have around the house or with ingredients that I am familiar with and that do not cost a fortune for something that I will only use one time. One thing that my family can agree on is their love for pizza, so I knew that my Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza Casserole would be the perfect family meal for them.
What I love about this pizza casserole recipe is that you can add as many toppings as you would like and change it every time that you make it.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 23 ounces of marinara sauce (I used Bertolli)
- 16 ounces rotini pasta
- 16 ounces ground sausage
- 6 ounces of sliced pepperoni
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Boil pasta according to the package directions
- Combine the peppers, the onions and sausage, and cook
- Once the sausage and the pasta is cooked, combine the sliced pepperoni (however reserve at least 10 slices), sausage, onion, and pepper and mix into a bowl and stir
- Add half of the mixture into a casserole dish
- Top with half of the cheese
- Layer the remaining sausage and pepperoni mix onto the cheese
- Sprinkle remaining cheese
- Top with the 10 remaining pepperonis
- Bake for 25, let sit for 5 minutes

Chicken Vegetable Casserole with Stuffing
My family loved this Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza Casserole. I loved that my girls did not even notice the onions and bell peppers that I added to the recipe. This pizza casserole is even more delicious when it is served with french bread and a side salad or it is perfect eaten alone.
