What happened to Friday's recipe, you may be wondering? Life. We were SO busy yesterday and got home late! My daughter woke up in the middle of the night with a temp and stomach ache and we found out today at the doctor, she has the flu. She is resting now and the temp's gone down, so time for Mama to get this recipe posted.

This casserole is total comfort food to me. Pizza ingredients and pasta baked in a casserole with sauce and cheese? Yes, please! I really love that this is another easy recipe to prepare and can be done within 45 minutes. Great for weekends, and still fast enough for weeknights. My kind of meal! As long as you love pizza and pasta, it will be your kind of meal too!

You can add or substitute with these ingredients:

• use a pizza blend cheese instead of mozzarella
• add Italian seasoning to the ground beef
• use half alfredo sauce and half pasta sauce 
• use canned mushrooms instead of fresh
• use green olives instead of black
• use half sausage and half ground beef
• use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder
• use regular pepperoni, cut into quarters instead of mini
• use any shape pasta instead of rotini
• try ham and pineapple for a Hawaiian pizza casserole

Recipe tips:

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.

• I recommend freshly shredded cheese for better taste and melt.
