I'm not a huge fan of casseroles, but this one is an exception. It's so cheesy and flavorful, and the meatballs are cooked to perfection. I always make extra so I can have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This casserole is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's so quick and easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make it with whatever I have on hand, so it's always a little different. But it's always delicious.

I love this casserole! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually make it with ground turkey instead of beef, and I add some chopped veggies to the sauce. It's a great way to use up leftovers, too.

This casserole was a waste of time and ingredients. The meatballs were tough and the pizza sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The meatballs were a bit dry and the pizza sauce was a bit bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
