It has almost all the components of pizza, from the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese to the layer of pepperonis on top. But it skips the pizza dough, so there&#8217;s no need to wait for any dough to rise (or to worry about rolling it into a perfect circle). Instead, the pizza toppings are tossed with cooked pasta and a hearty meat sauce before being baked to melty, cheesy perfection.<\/p>\n<p>We show how to make our pizza casserole recipe with ground beef and pepperoni, but you can easily swap in other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pizza-toppings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pizza-toppings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pizza toppings<\/a>. Make it with sausage, bell peppers, olives and mushrooms to create a supreme pizza, or get wacky with ham and pineapple if your kids love Hawaiian pizza. You can even use pesto or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/white-pizza-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/white-pizza-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">white pizza sauce<\/a> instead of spaghetti sauce. In other words, have fun customizing the casserole to your heart&#8217;s content (or your picky eater&#8217;s liking!).<\/p>\n<p>This recipe also happens to be freezer-friendly. As written, it creates an extra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/13x9-freezer-casseroles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/13x9-freezer-casseroles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">13&#215;9 freezer casserole<\/a> that you can stash away for a rainy day.

Check the spaghetti sauce label, too, as some versions are made with chicken broth. You can bulk up the casserole with vegetables like mushrooms, peppers or spinach, or plant-based proteins like tofu or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-tempeh\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-tempeh\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tempeh<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip the pasta:<\/strong> For a gluten-free pizza casserole recipe without pasta, try making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/zucchini-pizza-casserole\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/zucchini-pizza-casserole\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">zucchini pizza casserole<\/a>. The shredded zucchini combines with eggs and Parmesan cheese to make a low-carb &#8220;crust&#8221; on the bottom of the casserole dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add herbs:<\/strong> Cook the ground beef with dried herbs like Italian seasoning, basil or oregano. Or use fresh herbs, mixing chopped oregano or thyme into the spaghetti sauce and garnishing the finished casserole with fresh basil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use another type of pasta:<\/strong> Feel free to substitute other short <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta shapes<\/a>, like penne, farfalle, gemelli or elbow macaroni. For a softer texture, try using egg noodles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the cheese:<\/strong> Swap in fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture, or add complexity by using shredded provolone, fontina or Parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Pizza Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>Let the pepperoni pizza casserole cool slightly and transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze pizza casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze unbaked pizza pasta casserole for up to three months. Assemble the casserole, but do not bake it. Once the pasta mixture has cooled completely, cover the casserole dish and transfer it to the freezer. To use, partially thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight. Remove it from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Bake as directed in a 350\u00b0 oven, increasing the time to 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through and a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make pizza casserole ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make the pizza casserole recipe ahead of time and store the unbaked casserole in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to three months. When you&#8217;re ready to bake the casserole, adjust the cooking time as needed, as the cooled pasta mixture will take longer to heat through.<\/p>\n<h2>Pizza Casserole Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2031579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Pizza-Casserole-TOHVP24_10333_MF_08_08_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Pizza Casserole in a baking dish\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you make pepperoni pizza casserole in the slow cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>To make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/slow-cooker-pizza-casserole\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/slow-cooker-pizza-casserole\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">slow-cooker pizza casserole<\/a>, transfer the pasta mixture to a 5-quart slow cooker instead of a baking dish. Add the cheese and pepperoni on top. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for two to three hours or until heated through.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep pizza pasta casserole from tasting mushy?<\/h3>\n<p>Pizza pasta casserole can taste mushy if the pasta is overcooked, so make sure to cook the pasta to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-al-dente\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-al-dente\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">al dente<\/a>.

Easy to prepare, tasty, ingredients that I usually have on hand = a favorite recipe. I usually freeze one casserole and bake the other.

For a nice little touch, I sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheddar on top before it goes into the oven. I'll bet chopped black or green olives would be good, too. French bread and a green salad and you've got a wonderful, easy meal!
