I like to make this with half ground beef/half italian sausage. I've even make this with ground chicken/turkey that I've spiced up with a seasoning mix that makes it taste like ground sausage. This can be made into a supreme pizza with chopped olives, peppers, onion, and mushrooms. This never fails to disappear off of my table and the leftovers rewarm well.

Would have been better with sausage instead of hamburger.

This was good...but I revised it. I decided to add my favorite pizza toppings, mushrooms, black olives, green pepper. I also used a different sauce, just my personal favorite brand. Added about a cup more sauce as well. Sauteed the onions, mushrooms and peppers in a little olive oil with minced garlic. Turned out pretty great, served with garlic bread and salad

This was to die for. The key is to personalize it though. I used a different brand sauce that I had in my cabinet and since the jar was 22 oz, I added an 8 oz can of Hunts tomato sauce. I also used turkey sausage instead of beef and used about 1 cup of mozzorella because that's all I had. I used an 8 oz bag of egg noodles that I had on hand as well. I added some italian seasoning to the sauce before I added the pasta and cooked it for 15 minutes because I had half the amount of cheese and didnt want the egg noodles to get mushy. It had SO much flavor. I will definately make again.

Great recipe! I omitted the ground beef and tripled the pepperoni amount instead. I also added extra mozarella cheese because... well who doesn't love cheese and extra sauce?
