Easy Cheesy Pepperoni Pasta Bake – Cheesy casserole comes together quick. Loaded with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, pasta sauce and sour cream. This delicious dish is on the table in no time!
Quick dinners are a major need in most homes. How about yours? Does your family need more quick all in one dishes for dinner table? Ours does.
This one got thrown together several weeks ago and it was a sure fire hit. Everyone enjoyed it and wanted more. That’s when you know it’s a good dish indeed.
And how do you know it’s an excellent dish? When everyone fights over the leftovers. Does that happen in your house too? Great dish. We all want second servings. Excellent dish – We all fight for what’s left. We fight nice though. Or as nice as a family can fight. There’s no cat clawing or hair yanking allowed.
I’m just teasing you. I never let it get to that point. But a momma sure does love when the young ones love her dinner. It does my heart good when there’s clean plates and full bellies. A smile and thank you put it over the top.
How about you? What makes a winner for dinner in your home?
Thanks for stopping by today friends!

We need more dinners like this at my house! My kids are so hard to please. Well, the younger one is at least. I’m thinking he might actually go for this one!

Mmm this looks like just the kind of comfort food I could devour right now! I’m getting over being sick and this looks perfect – I need some cheese and carbs 🙂

I wasted no time in making this delicious casserole. I saw the recipe this morning, and I made it for dinner. My family loved it. The sour cream adds such a nice smoothness. I substituted part of the mozzarella with parmesan because we like that cheese combination on our pizza. Trust me, we will be fighting over the leftovers!
Thanks so much.
