GRANDMA’S PIZZA CASSEROLE
This GRANDMA’S PIZZA CASSEROLE is a cheesy one with all of your favorite pizza toppings. I like to serve this with a salad and garlic bread. The leftovers are great. I have prepared this in advance and then taken it to potlucks in a slow cooker the next day.
I initially found this recipe on a Facebook page the other day and gave it a try tonight. But I excluded the black olives and mushrooms. Furthermore, I did use a pound and a half ground beef and precooked the noodles. Didn’t seem to be a problem doing it that way. Really enjoyed it.
I made this for supper and my family loved it. I used Italian sausage instead of ground beef and angel hair pasta in place of the egg noodles. Likewise, I also used pizza sauce instead of spaghetti sauce. Will definitely make it again.
