Easy and Inexpensive Pizza Casserole

This was always my Mom's favorite quick supper. She was a teacher who often didn't have a lot of time after school to plan a meal for the five of us. We all loved it! It is a quick and easy supper for 4-5 people. It requires only 4 ingredients and they are staples that almost everyone always has on hand. It "seasons" itself and really does taste like pizza. Serve with a tossed salad for a healthy full meal!
