Pizza Pot Pie

peppermintkitty's Note:

I've only made this once, but it was very good and will make it again. I served it with garlic bread, but garlic sticks and a side salad would also be nice. I got this from our local news paper. I liked it because the ingredients are simple, (I make my own pasta sauce), and it's quick to prepare leaving you with a hot, satisfying warm meal. Thanks for trying this.

Tasted great, both the bf and co-workers loved it. Did add some chopped pepperoni for extra zing. Will make again.

I am rating this 5 stars because it is so easy to make. I used elbow macaroni and added pepperoni and mushrooms. Delicious!

Wow, this was great! I used my MIL homemade spaghetti sauce and venison sausage. Couldn't find wagon wheel pasta, so used elbow macaroni. I added some pepperoni to it, yummy. The whole family enjoyed it. There was only a little left and gave it to my hubby for lunch the next day. Will be making this one often. Thank you PK.
