Pizza Casserole/Pic

[Roxy]

I haven't made this..it got good reviews. I like to experiment with recipes and I would probably add mushrooms, pork sausage and hamburger mixture mixed up, sliced pepperoni, fresh tomatoes and alot of garlic. May add more stuff..depending on what it looked like and what I had on hand. I like to make notes if I try a new recipe and after tasting it -what I may do differently the next time I make it such as leaving out or adding ingredients..or cook it differently. I like Parmesan Cheese too and Red Pepper Flakes..some people don't care for those so I would keep that off to the side so it can be added accoding to family members taste. I have a homemade marinara sauce that I would probably use instead of canned pizza sauce. Pizza Sauce would be handy though for families who are short on time to cook dinner, etc. I like alot of sauce so if using pizza sauce..would double it if it looked to dry. This recipe doesn't sound lke it would make a large pan..so double up on the ingredients according to how many people you have to feed.
