This is a recipe every family would love. This looks so easy and tasty. Wonderful idea making pizza casserole. I really enjoyed seeing your recipes this month and choosing something from your blog. I love the combination of flavors and of course anything with cheese on it is a good thing, LOL!

Made this tonight and the whole family loved it! I made a few changes because i only had 1 jar pizza sauce so i added half a jar of spaghetti sauce instead and it turned out great! I think just pizza sauce wouldn't be as good both me and husband thought, I also added extra cheese mixed in the sauce. Will make again Thanks! This would be a great freezer meal too!
