Pizza spaghetti casserole makes a delicious dinner for any night of the week. What I really like about this casserole is that I can prepare it very easily and it does not consume much time. This casserole recipe consists of cooked spaghetti noodles topped with pasta sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni, and cheese. You can also add any of your favorite pizza or spaghetti ingredients to this dish. Some good options might be mushrooms, green pepper, and onion. This pizza spaghetti casserole goes great served with garlic bread. Enjoy. Adapted from Sweet Treats and More.

- 2 ounces sliced pepperoni
- 1 (26 ounces) jar pasta sauce

I'm Italian, and Italians will never eat spaghetti, pizza or lasagne at the same time :)

@Miriam, I'm Italian as well and I'm actually really excited to try to the combination. I hope my kids feel the same way!

I made this for dinner tonight and oh my was delicious. I am not a fan of italian sausage so I used ground turkey meat. It was delicious!

Really! 4 servings in a 9 x 13 pan this has to be at least 6 to 8 servings.
