– Make it meatless: Swap out the meat for a mixture of mushrooms, bell peppers, and olives for a veggie version that still packs a flavor punch.
– Cheese it up: Feel free to toss in a blend of cheeses. Something smoky, like gouda or provolone, can add a whole new dimension.
– Gluten-free? Simply use your favorite gluten-free pasta. Just keep an eye on it – that GF pasta likes to cook differently sometimes.
– For picky eaters: Set aside some “plain” portions without the additional toppings before adding all the goodies in.
– Meal prep magic: This casserole can be prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to bake. Or freeze it for one of those ‘no-time-to-cook’ evenings.
– Personalize your pizza: Think of this casserole as a blank pizza canvas for all your favorite toppings – just about anything you love on your pizza can go right on top before baking.
There you have it, folks – a comforting meal that checks all the boxes and brings smiles all around that dinner table. Let’s dig in!
