M family loved this recipe! I added black olives and green pepper. This recipe could be made healthier by simply adjusting the ingredients (wheat pasta, ground turkey, low fat cheese etc.). The bad rating based on the saturated fat content is wrong. Plus Heidimotsch doesn't mention this is a recipe for 2 meals!

We love this with ground Venison & fresh garlic.

This is a good example of why so many Americans are overweight - 2 pounds of ground beef, 4 1/2 cups of cheese AND a whole package of pepperoni? I could have poured the grease of the top there was so much. It would be pretty good if lightened up, but as is, too unhealthy and full of saturated fat.

I love recipes that easily make 2 batches. This is delicious and easy to bake. Turkey pepperoni works great.

Hubby & I loved it, but it sure makes a lot! Like the idea of making up all the sauce & freezing half of it for the next time.

Quick, tasty casserole to put together. I only made 1 to make sure we liked it, but next time I'll do the 2!
