meatza pizza casserole

I read a recipe like this, but like most people, I put my own spin on it. I did cheat, & used a jarred sauce. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor. It has a hint of sweetness, that I didn’ expect. I’m sure I will experiment many times with this one! This goes together really fast, since you can do multiple steps at the same time.I put this together except the toppings before work, came home, added them, baked, and had dinner served in under 45 minutes, including making garlic bread.
