This easy to make recipe is a big hit in my house!

1 lb Italian sausage
1/2 cup pepperoni
1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce
1/2 cup water
1 bag frozen potatoes O’Brien with onions and peppers
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Cook sausage until no longer pink. Stir in pepperoni and cook for 2 minutes. Drain.

Stir in pizza sauce, water, and potatoes. Cover and cook 10 - 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

Sprinkle cheese over the top. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 can pizza sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian blend cheese
2 packages of pepperoni slices (3 1/2 oz each)

Cook lasagna noodles as directed on package and drain.

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray 12×8 (I only have a 8X8 so I used that instead) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In saucepan, mix pizza sauce and tomatoes. Cook until throughly heated. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese and Italian seasoning.

Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce mixture in bottom of baking dish. Arrange 3 cooked noodles over the sauce. Spoon and spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1 cup sauce mixture, 1/3 each of the pepperoni slices. Repeat layers once.

Top with remaining noodles, sauce mixture, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices.

Bake uncovered 30 - 35 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

8 servings

1 tsp flour
1 pkg frozen pizza dough
1 cup pizza sauce
2 ounces pepperoni
1/2 cup of any other ingredients that you want
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese or pizza blend cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 10 1/2 inch deep dish pizza pan (or a pizza pan that you buy at the store like we did) with cooking spray and coat lightly with cornmeal. Coat work surface with flour and roll dough to 14 inch diameter (or whatever diameter your pan is). Transfer dough to pizza pan and let rise till puffy. Brush dough with olive oil and spread with pizza sauce. Top with pepperoni and whatever other toppings you want. Sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella cheese (or whatever kind of cheese you are using). Bake until crust is browned, top is bubbly, and cheese is melted — usually 12 - 16 minutes.
