Cheese Tortellini Pepperoni Pizza Casserole

Serving: Serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread to complete the meal. This casserole is rich and cheesy, so a light side is the perfect complement.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the cheese nice and melty.

Variations:

Vegetarian: Skip the pepperoni and use your favorite veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions for a vegetarian version.

Meat Lovers: Add other pizza toppings like sausage, ground beef, or bacon for a more robust casserole.

FAQ:

Can I use other types of pasta? Yes, other short pasta shapes like penne or rigatoni will work well in place of tortellini.

Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the casserole ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply pop it in the oven for the recommended time.

Can I use a different cheese than Velveeta? Velveeta creates a smooth, creamy sauce, but you can substitute it with a combination of cream cheese and extra shredded mozzarella if you prefer.

Enjoy this cheesy, pizza-inspired casserole that’s sure to become a family favorite!
