I've been making this recipe since I discovered it and tweaked it to our family's liking more than 15 years. You can substitute chopped salami, pepperoni or cooked ground beef for the ham. Or add olives and red peppers—whatever you like on a pizza. —Rose Enns, Abbotsford, British Columbia

Made this last night. It turned out great. My husband even took some to work for lunch today. I will make this again.

We were craving pizza, but due to time constraints, couldn't today. This was perfect...all the kids (and I) loved it. Used GF pasta and added pepperoni slices and olives. Next time, I'll do it without stirring the cheese in with the rest. Put half the casserole in the pan, sprinkle with the cheese, then the other half, and then the cheese for topping. Think it will make it look more appetizing. Great quick, yummy, recipe!

I halved this recipe except the sauce and everyone in the family thought it needed more sauce. Like another reviewer I will use a good premade pasta sauce next time.I will also add more garlic and add about 2t of sugar. We would prefer to cut the chunk pineapple in half, and the mushrooms don't really need to be there. This is a recipe you can tweek to your own tastes.

My husband liked every part of this casserole except the pineapple which he doesn't care for anyway. Still, he is willing to eat it again. I loved the pineapple-it really added to the flavors. It worked best for me to bake half of the recipe and freeze the rest for later. I used the frozen part earlier this week. I took it out of the freezer the day before I wanted to cook it and let it thaw in the refrigerator. I took it out of the fridge an hour before baking and then followed the same directions for baking. It worked great!

This was excellent! I didn't use mushrooms or the bay leaves and substituted Canadian bacon for the ham to make it most like the Hawaiian pizzas we get. I also added a little more garlic than the recipe calls for. This was great; my family called it a "keeper" recipe. I would definitely make it again and it was so easy to prepare!

This was delicious! Though, I did cheat and use can spaghetti sauce in place of the tomato sauce and spices. I also added some green olives. This was flavorful and we liked that each bite was different and tasty! Hubby has requested I make it again.
