The only thing missing is the crust! Pizza toppings with pasta and sauce in a hot melty baked casserole! Customize with what YOU like on a pizza. Here I've used hamburger, and turkey pepperoni, with red onion and red pepper I serve this with garlic bread and a green salad. Pizza Hut used to have something like this on their lunch buffet...years and years ago!
