I like this better than baked ziti. Next time I will use regular pepperoni instead of sandwich pepperoni cut up, I didn't realize it would have slightly less flavor than the regular. I also only made 1/2 the recipe but I will make this again.

It is not bad but too simple. It can be much better if place half of the pasta mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with half of the mozzarella cheese then pepperoni. Repeat layers.

My entire family loved this recipe. It was very easy to prepare and had lots of flavor. Since my family tends to like things on the spicy side, I decided to use Italian sausage in place of the hamburger and it was wonderful. Definitely a keeper!

Our church made this to serve 100 people. We got LOTS of compliments and recipe requests. a 9x13 pan can go into a roaster oven (on a rack) for extra baking room when preparing for a large crowd.
