Potato Pizza Casserole

You can pretty much put cheese and pepperoni on top of anything and call it pizza. 

Grab those potatoes and pizza toppings and let's get started with this extremely delicious pizza casserole recipe! 

I wanted to eat this entire casserole all by myself (my excuse being that I'm breastfeeding), but somehow I managed to restrain myself so I could share it with my family (I'm kinda nice like that).   

This casserole includes all of the important food groups to make a balanced meal such as vegetables (kale), carbs (potatoes), protein (pepperoni), and the most important food group, CHEESE! 

​A girl can dream right?! :)

Make this dish tonight, because there's no time like the present!
