    I LOVE this recipe!! I’m not a jarred pasta sauce fan, so I sub in a 10oz jar of pizza sauce and use canned tomato sauce to make up the difference! It gives it such a nice “pizza” vibe! Easy weeknight dinner that’s a hit with the whole family!

  4. 5 stars
    Made this for dinner tonight and the whole family LOVED it. Super easy to pull together and customize with your fav pizza toppings. Will definitely be adding this to the rotation.
    Thanks for sharing! 🙂
