Recipe Tips
- If you want to add to this recipe, try adding some sliced or diced onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, and other great common pizza topping ingredients.
- It is straightforward to scale this recipe; however, it is essential to note that you may end up needing a larger casserole dish.
- Assuming you’re not a fan of mozzarella, then you can replace this with a different type of cheese. Most cheeses will work just fine.
- You can use a homemade marinara sauce instead of the pizza sauce. Both will work just fine and really just comes down to what you prefer.
- This dish requires about thirty to forty minutes in the oven, so if you're in a rush, you can always skip this step, but you won't get the nice crisp pepperoni and cheese on top.
- The pepperoni is one of the best parts of this delicious casserole, but it can be left out if you don't want it.
