This Pizza Skillet Casserole is so comforting and comes together in only 30 minutes!
Sickness struck again last week in this house and it was even worse than last time. It turns out you don’t get to rest as much when you have a crazy crawling 9 month old to look after all day. Thankfully we are on the up and up now though.
There’s always that feeling when you’ve recovered from being sick where you’re so happy you’re feeling better so you just want to go out and enjoy the world. But, at the same time, you’re terrified of getting sick again so you don’t want to touch anything when you’re out and the hand sanitizer is flowing.
I feel like it’s more important than ever to eat healthy when you’re sick, but at the same time you have no energy to cook. That’s when 30 minute, one pot meals come in really handy. This recipe was inspired by my husband’s favorite food in the universe: pizza!
This pizza skillet casserole is adapted from one of my most popular recipes: my stove-top skillet enchiladas. It’s the same idea, cook up some veggies, add some chopped up tortillas and sauce and mix it all together and then melt some cheese in. It’s totally delicious and so comforting! Enjoy 🙂

May 10, 2017 at 11:36 amMade this for supper last night and it was freaking DELICIOUS!! I used Daiya shreds for the cheese, a little crushed red pepper, also added a healthy pour of nutritional yeast with the spices just because I like it. Next time I think I’ll add sliced black olives as a garnish as well! Great recipe! (Note though, that the recipe doesn’t tell you when to add the spices during the cooking process so I guessed!)

May 18, 2017 at 10:58 amI am a huge fan of casseroles. This in definitely on my list, but Izzy can I get a substitute for Zuccini? I’v heard gourd is a reliable substitute for that or can I just strike it out from the list of ingredients?

October 14, 2017 at 6:29 pmHi Betty, for this recipe is used Diaya shredded cheese. It’s pretty good but I also like the one that Trader Joe’s has if you have one of those near you 🙂

October 7, 2018 at 11:44 amgreat website! Unfortunately I can’t have any night shade veggies right now….I miss them all so much….any ideas what I can substitute the tomatoes for in this and other recipes?

October 7, 2018 at 5:42 pmHi Jennifer, do you mean the tomato sauce? If so, you could try a pumpkin tomato sauce or I really like to make creamy sauces out of butternut squash that might work well too! I hope that helps 🙂

March 16, 2019 at 3:28 pmJust made this for a quick Saturday afternoon meal. Went together quickly, plus we used up our leftover squashes, tomato sauce, and Anaheim peppers! Pretty easy and tasty — will be on our do-again list for a quick supper.

April 9, 2019 at 8:22 pmThis was delicous. My husband likes mushrooms but I don’t, so I sauteed some and put them on his portion.
