Few things are more comforting than a piping hot casserole fresh out of the oven. During a time when it seems that comfort foods are more comforting than ever, we wanted to make a hot dish that incorporated the flavors of some of our favorite main dishes like pizza and lasagna.
Made with a combination of ground beef, spicy sausage, and three kinds of cheese, this casserole has a flavorful kick reminiscent of our favorite homemade lasagna. But, we think the gooey mozzarella cheese and pepperoni topping is what puts this dish over the top!
Everybody in our kitchen went crazy for Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Casserole so it will be finding a permanent place on our menu. Give it a try yourself and let us know what you think!
