Pepperoni Pasta Bake Casserole : Delicious comfort food your whole family will love!

This is one of those meals you can really make your own. Pick your favorite pasta, and a couple of pizza toppings, and boom...you've got a casserole worthy of repeating.

I suggest you cook your pasta to al dente. This keeps the pasta from getting too mushy while baking in the sauce.

Top with your favorite cheese! Don't skimp. We used mozzarella on our Pepperoni Pasta Casserole.
