I had made this a few months back and had a piece left over so I put it in the freezer. I was hungry at lunch today so I pulled it out and put it in the microwave. It was wonderful even after freezing it and reheating it. It was just as good as the day I made it. I am so impressed! THANKS AGAIN!

I made this for supper when the in-laws were coming over and it was a hit! My 3 and 5 year old loved it, and the best thing about it is that I have 2 more pans of it in the freezer for another dinner! Perfect to have on hand for a day when there's just no time to make a home-made supper! Thanks for sharing!

This casserole was a real kid pleaser (adults as well)! I cut the recipe in half and it was the perfect amount for the five of us. The only change I made was to add in a four ounce can of sliced mushrooms. I'm planning to prepare this again using the entire amounts called for and freeze half of it for later. I served this with a salad and breadsticks for a very nice meal. Thanks bunches for sharing the recipe!

I just made this for dinner (I'm sitting here with my empty bowl on my lap as I type). My very fussy two-year old dove in, saying "Mmmm!" every second or third bite. My husband has so far eaten two big bowls of it. I added some canned sliced mushrooms and olives on top, under the cheese and pepperoni, and used turkey pepperoni cut into quarters. I also used more cheese than it calls for, as I have a huge bag of shredded mozzarella I'm trying to finish off. It was very good, very filling and tasty. I think I'd like it better with turkey Italian sausage than ground beef, but it was very good nonetheless. UPDATE: I've made this several times now, and it remains the hit that it was the first time around. I usually add a small can of sliced olives, drained, and a small can of mushrooms pieces and stems, drained, to the pasta mixture before I transfer it to a baking dish, and I still quarter the turkey pepperoni (since my son's only 3, and whole slices are a bit large for him). My husband loves the leftovers the next day, too. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

This was quick and easy to make. I gave two to a family member, kept one, and froze one. We baked one dish tonight, and it was pretty good. I would probably add some chopped pepperoni to the mixture next time, as the "pizza" flavor wasn't too prominent. Although it definately isn't a fancy dish, it will be nice to have in the freezer for a quick meal, so I will probably make it again, adjusting the recipe to suit our tastes. Thanks for posting!

Very good! This was my first time trying OAMC, and this recipe froze, thawed and baked beautifully! The taste was delicious too. It really did taste like pizza! The only change I made was to add a little fresh Parmisan Cheese to the top layer of mozz. Thank you for this great OAMC recipe. I will use it again!

Great recipe!!! We did a serving for 5 and changed the recipe a little. We used a pound of hamburger, one garlic clove, no olive oil, 16 oz. of spaghetti sauce, 1 1/4 cup whole wheat elbow noodles, a pound of cheese, and left the rest the same. We also added sliced canadian bacon. We mixed the sliced pepp., can. bacon, and half the cheese in with the mix and put whole pepperoni and the rest of the cheese on the top. Next time we make it we are going to also add fresh mushrooms and black olives. Thanks again for the basic recipe, we just changed a few thing to suit our family.

Quick & easy. I substituted shredded cheddar mixed in the cassrole, and sliced provolone on top, after discovering that my mozzarella had gone bad. I only used one pound of ground beef, which was enough for our taste, and I added jalapenos to 1/3 of it. This was an easy meal that was enjoyed by two adults and a toddler. Thanks!

This was a super easy dish. I recently started a meal exchange with a group of friends (so I had to make 6) and this was my first choice. It was so simple, I felt I was cheating! Thanks. Can't wait to hear the reviews from friends!

Fabulously quick, easy, delicious, eat-some-and-stack-heaps-away-in-the-freezer recipe, which I’m always on the lookout for to cook for my parents! I don’t need to make kid-pleaser recipes, but I do need difficult-to-please-octogenarian-male-pleaser recipes. I doubled the recipe, then proportionally increased the onions and garlic – 3 onions, 6 cloves of garlic – and I also added one huge chopped red pepper and some fresh chopped basil, because I had them from my guesstimates of ingredients needed for several recipes I was making. I omitted the pepperoni and used angel hair pasta, my current favourite pasta! Thanks Kaarin for a great recipe which I’ll certainly be making again, and it passed the grumpikins-octogenarian test! No complaints whatsoever on this occasion of herbs giving him indigestion!
