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!

I decided to try this because my 2 yr old daughter is crazy about pepperoni right now so I thought it might get her interest. We really enjoyed it, it's like a simple lasagna more than pizza. The best part is I cooked the whole amount of sauce but only half of the noodles. I'm freezing the other half of the sauce and will have a quick meal on hand for later!

I make this recopie all the time. However, I divided into 3 8x8 pans, since there is just 2 of us.

This recipe was not great. The grated Parmesan on top makes it taste gritty!

This recipe was dry. I cut up and mixed pepperoni in w/everything else. My husband tho't it was tasteless. I wouldn't make it again but I did salvage it by putting it in the slow cooker and making soup from it. Added tomatoes, ripe olives and veggies, and that was tasty. I'd make the soup again using the casserole ingredients.
