An easy tasty casserole with tomato soup, pepperoni and spices the whole family will enjoy. Hint: In our house this is a two meal dish. So I buy 2 cans of tomato soup. If you reheat for a second meal stir in second can before reheating. This keeps the casserole moist. Stir thoroughly, and top with cheese again.
