How to make Pepperoni Pizza Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using nonstick cooking spray, grease a casserole dish, and set aside.
Step 2: Following the package directions, cook the pasta. Drain when done and return the cooked and drained pasta to the pot. Then, add the pizza sauce along with the diced pepperoni, and 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese. Stir well and transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Step 3: On top of the casserole, add the rest of the cheese, then the whole pepperoni, and sprinkle with oregano.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Step 5: Take the casserole out of the oven when done and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Tips:
Use diced and whole pepperonis for this recipe. Mix the diced pepperoni well into the casserole dish and top with the whole pepperonis. If desired, you can use mini pepperoni instead of dicing whole pepperonis.
