Ground Beef Pepperoni Pizza Casserole

"This is delicious! The complete casserole (with the crust on) can be prepared up to a day in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake. I used mozzeralla slices for this in place of shredded mozzeralla... add in any of your other favorites also."

  1. I had wrong expectations of this. I thought the batter poured on top would bake up on the bottom, creating a bottom crust. It does not do that - it stays on top. BUT this is a really good pizza casserole, that the kids and I really enjoyed this afternoon. I did make a major change though in that I didn't add either the pepperoni nor the bacon. Once I had poured the meat sauce into the pan, it certainly looked like enough and, in order to cut some calories, I left it there and proceeded with the recipe without pepperoni and bacon. Worked out just fine for us and I'm glad to have saved a few calories!
     
  2. great recipe but instead of flour i added 1 bag of cooked egg noodles and instead of parmesan used chedder . hi kitten great recipe
     
  3. I guess the reason I didn't care for this was the texture of the crust. It was not nice and light like I imagined it would be. It was very heavy and dense. The flavor was ok, just didn't like the crust.
     
  4. I made this for zaar tag, this is very good, the crust is nice and crispy!! The meat sauce perfectly spiced. I only used 4 oz mushrooms because of the kids and used 3/4 lb pepperoni. Thanks for posting
