Notes

  • Try substituting ground sausage or turkey for the ground beef. 
  • Cheddar cheese soup can be found in the soup aisle at the grocery store. It's a handy pantry staple for all casseroles.
  • Out of fresh onions? Use 1 tablespoon of dried minced onion instead.
  • Shredded Parmesan can be used instead of grated. 
  • Prep this pizza casserole without pasta on the weekend, and bake on a weeknight to save some time.
  • Feeling lazy? There's no need to peel your potatoes if you don't want to. 
  • Dice the potatoes small to speed up cooking time. 
  • Why do we add sugar?  Tomato based recipes are very acidic, and sugar cuts the acid flavor with a bit of sweetness.
  • Love pizza? Try our Pizza inspired bread.
