Who doesn’t love pizza?! I’m from Chicago, and there’s no getting around the constant pizza eating my friends and family are doing. Usually I’ll just eat the toppings and leave the bread, but then I have to eat like 10 pieces to feel satisfied.
So, instead, I started making my own pizza casserole that taste just like Chicago pizza minus the crust!
