The Results

Oh my. Yummy. The only ahem, "beef," I have with this is the name. If you're expecting it to taste like pizza, it really doesn't. I think I would've gone with Spaghetti Casserole. But my husband and I and our toddler all loved it. And it was super simple. I made a half of the above recipe (1/4 of the original recipe) to make sure we would like it. Now I'm wishing I'd made more. But, it is easy so it will go in the rotation for a future dinner.
