After making this meal, I kind of wish I would have mixed more pepperoni in throughout the casserole to add flavor throughout. Just a thought you may want to try.
My kids loved this Casserole. Can't go wrong with pizza flavor. Thanks for the good meal.
ReplyDeleteWe liked this meal. When I warmed it up, I did add more pepperoni and it was delicious!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe just had this. I did add the extra pepperoni and next time I think I would add a little more cheese, but it was very good! I liked how easy it was to prep and to cook also.
