How to make Pizza Casserole. A quick family favorite dinner recipe that kids will eat and love! Easy DIY recipe Tutorial Idea.
Have you seen the Pizza Casserole recipe floating all over Pinterest? It looks absolutely amazing!
I knew I would have to try it out. But sadly most of the pins go to dead links, so that sent me on a mission to find the recipe to share with you!
How to Make Pizza Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz bag of egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 large can or jar of pizza sauce
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 lbs. ground chuck, cooked and drained
- 1 package of pepperoni
Cook and drain the ground chuck in a large skillet. Cook and drain the egg noodles in a medium pot. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large 9×13 baking dish, start by spreading a thin layer of the pizza sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Continue by layering in this order: Half of the noodles, half of the ground chuck, half of the pizza sauce, half of the shredded cheese, the remaining half of the noodles, the remaining half of the ground chuck, the remaining half of the pizza sauce, the remaining half of the cheese, and top off with the pepperoni. If you are using any optional items, incorporate them into the layers of ingredients.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. After this time is up, remove the foil cover and bake for another 15 minutes. Allow the pizza casserole to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
It tastes so good! This is one of my kids’ favorites!

October 2, 2014 at 9:20 amIf you were to make this and freeze it, would you freeze before you cook it? or after? What do you think would be better?

April 27, 2015 at 1:48 pmIt sounds a lot like lasagna. I’m sure it is yummy. Another recipe like this uses the frozen ravioli with cheese. You can use so many different variations. Just think out of the box and have fun.

March 9, 2017 at 6:57 pmI think you may have over compensated the meat and noodles. I didn’t have enough room for all of it. Also there is no way to fit 2 packs of pepperoni on there trust me I tried lol. We’re pepperoni lovers In our house. It’s in the oven as I type. I’ve got high hopes.
