Pizza Casserole

This is similar to many Baked Pasta dishes but with the distinct flavors of pizza. I created this recipe yesterday and took it to a dinner party as the main dish. It was a big hit and every woman there asked for the recipe. I decided that anything that popular should be posted here. You do not have to use the same kind of pasta I did...but should use a pasta which will remain slightly firm after boiling and baking so that it is not mushy. NOTE** I've had several people ask about when to add the spices...you can either add them to the sauce or to the sausage when you cook it. Either way works great! Since this recipe is an original creation of mine, it tickles me so very much that lots of people are enjoying it! Thanks everyone!

Not quite like my mom's version. I think it may even be better than her's. My kids loved it, and my son asked when am I gonna make it again. Only changes I made was to use "hot" italian sausage( what I had in the freezer) and use half the amount of onion cut extra fine to fool the kids.

    Left out the ham but otherwise made the same. I used Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage, and it added lots of flavor for us. Delicious!

    Wonderful! The whole family really enjoyed this very hearty dish. Even the baby was using two hands to stuff this into his mouth! It makes A LOT! Next time, I'll freeze half for baking later. A great family meal, especially for a bunch of hungry kids, as well as a great dish for company. I used penne and sprinkled the garlic powder and oregano on the sausage layer. Also used a 6 oz pkg of turkey pepperoni which was plenty to completely cover the top of the casserole. Prepared it early in the day and refrigerated, then baked covered for about 45 minutes, then uncovered for 20. I'm sure you could add mushrooms, green peppers, olives or other favorite pizza toppings, but really, it was so good, I wouldn't change a thing! Thanks, CarrolJ!
