If you love macaroni & cheese and pepperoni pizza you will flip for this Cheese Tortellini Pepperoni Pizza Casserole Recipe! This tortellini mac & cheese is combined with the flavors of pepperoni pizza then baked to bubbly, cheesy perfection. This dinner is sure to become your family’s new favorite comfort food!

What can I say? I love to combine meals into one ahhhhhMazing dish. It’s kinda my thing. I get especially excited about it when it is two of my favorite comfort foods. It doesn’t get much more comforting than macaroni & cheese and pepperoni pizza! And, I decided I do not use tortellini nearly enough so I tossed those into this recipe too.

Making this Cheese Tortellini Pepperoni Pizza Casserole is relatively simple. I started with my usual mac & cheese sauce base, added cooked tortellini, layered on the pizza toppings then baked.

This dish is all about The Cheese. The sauce is made with Velveeta and a three cheeses blend. It is topped with shredded mozzarella cheese for that melty top. And I serve it with powdered parmesan cheese (like the kind you get with you pizza) . . . because that is how we do it at my house! MORE CHEESE, PLEASE!!!

Really cheese is the only reason that I could never, ever be a vegan. I could probably get used to not eating meat. But my cheese cravings are all consuming.

If you get cheese cravings, like me, this Pizza Casserole is the cure.
