Pizza Spaghetti Bake
This easy pizza spaghetti bake combines two traditional favorites in one delicious (and easy to make) casserole!
You are going to love this pizza spaghetti bake! This quick and easy meal combines two of my favorite meals, spaghetti and pizza, into one delicious casserole. It doesn’t get better than that!
The spaghetti is covered in sauce and flavored with pizza seasonings, and then topped with lots of gooey melty cheese and spicy pepperoni. Yum!! This is a meal that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters, and it is so simple to make.
This pizza spaghetti bake is definitely a kid friendly meal, and our 3 year old asks for it regularly. I love that I can make an easy homemade meal for dinner that causes absolutely no complaints! 
It’s a nice twist on more traditional favorites, and definitely an easy one to add to your menu rotation. Plus it’s one of those meals where you can always keep the ingredients on hand to make it last minute if you need to. Even better, you can get your prep area cleaned up and even make a quick vegetable side dish while the spaghetti is in the oven!
I’m pretty sure almost everyone likes spaghetti, and the same goes for pizza. So why not combine them? This is comfort food for sure. 
We love this pizza spaghetti bake and I’m guessing you will too.
