I gave this recipe 3 stars. I got mixed reviews on this recipe. While my 6 yr old newphew only liked the pasta my 5 yr old newphew ate his right up. My future hubby commented on how this smelled just like pizza. I loved all the meat in this dish they all mixed together so nicely. When I made this casserole I used 9 slices of bacon as I had an extra piece to use up. I did use the onion. I could only find 8oz bags of pepperoni so I used a couple of stacks. I could only find 6oz of canadian bacon so I just used that. I started with the 8oz of sauce but I thought the pasta was to dry so I added a whole 15oz can of pizza sauce. Still thought the pasta was dry so I added a 8oz can of tomato sauce. I didn't have Italian herb seasoning so end up using 1 tsp Italian seasoning. I couldn't find shredded montery jack but I did find a 8oz bag of of Kraft mild cheddar & monterey jack cheese so I used that. Overall this was pretty easy and pretty fast. I will make this again except next time I will add some salt to the casserole. I think I may even toss in some sweet sausage next time. Thanks for posting a really good recipe!

Husband and 14 month old LOVED it! I 86'd the garlic and it tasted just fine.
