  • Transfer cooked pizza mixture to 4 oven safe bowls*. Top with pepperoni and remaining cheese.
    *Note: A cast iron or Dutch oven can also be used instead of bowls for a pizza casserole. You can also microwave the bowl to melt the cheese. If so, use microwave safe bowls instead of oven safe bowls.
