I was off attending the Build Your Blog Conference in Salt Lake City, UT this weekend which is put on by Six Sisters’ Stuff, but I still had to share this recipe with you. It’s a great meal for busy nights and the kids will love it. If you have time to make spaghetti, you have time to make this Pizza Noodle Dish. Be sure to follow me on Instagram so you can keep up with me at the conference. I have met the most amazing bloggers and am making tons of new friends! And learning lots about blogging, of course.
This is so fun to make because you just add your favorite pizza toppings to the dish. Customize it any way you like. Mushrooms, bell peppers, onions etc. I stuck with olives and pepperoni since that’s what we love. Get creative!

Notes
This can be frozen. Simply prepare, but don't bake it. Instead, cover with foil and freeze up to 3 months.To use frozen casserole, remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking. Don't thaw. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F 45-50 minutes. Uncover and bake 15-20 minutes longer until heated through.
I made this and it was SO good! One thing I did was put just pepperoni and sausage on one side and on the other side I added mushrooms and olives for those who like more pizza toppings. I really like the idea of freezing it, but I have a question though. I like to use a stoneware pan. If I freeze it in the stoneware pan would I still be able to put it in the oven after having it out of the
I asked this on jy facebook page and there were various responses. Some said to put the pan in the oven while theoven is cold and then turn on the oven to preheat. One said wait till the pan thaws because her's broke in half. Hope this helps.<br /><br />

Hi Mandy,
I made this today and it was delicious. My roommate said it was fantastic. One thing I had trouble with was spreading the meat mixture. I might try adding the noodles to the meat mixture and then put half in each layer. Thanks for the recipe.
We get our own beef so mine never needs draining. I always forget to include that step!
In the directions you say cook ground beef until no longer pink, then add pizza sauce and…..
I am assuming that the meat will be drained first ?
Thank you.
Yes, of course. We get our own beef so mine never needs draining. I always forget to include that step!
