My family is like most other American families - and we love pizza. My husband loves mushrooms, sausage, and onions. The kids and I are happy with plain pepperoni and cheese. Fortunately, low carb pizza is very easy to make, and the internet abounds with delicious recipes! (See all my pizza recipes here!)

This pizza casserole was a sure hit with my kids because of the pepperoni and cheese. (And my husband and I enjoyed it as well.)

The meatballs are easy to make, and can even be made ahead of time if you want to prep a bit. You can make the meatballs and freeze them (without cooking), then pull them out to thaw the day before you want to make the casserole. Or, you could go ahead and cook the meatballs, then bake them with the sauce and cheese (no need to thaw).

I think this would work great as a freezer meal as well. You could assemble the pizza casserole, and freeze the entire thing. I would thaw it first before baking, but you could probably bake it from frozen, it would just take longer.

Add a side salad and some oven fried green beans, and you have a delicious, healthy, and hearty meal that your entire family will love!

If you love all the sauce, but not the pepperoni, you should check out this awesome Meatball Casserole with Parmesan.

The leftovers (if there are any) are great as well!
