Who says pepperoni is only for pizza? Pepperoni Casserole fully embraces pepperoni’s smoky, spicy flavor by making it the star: the pasta provides a tender foundation and the pasta sauce accents the seasonings in the meat. Pepperoni Casserole even features even more savory sausage to make it extra meaty and extra delicious.
