With mozzarella cheese and black olive "eyeballs," this cheesy pasta bake is not your average dinner dish. Perfect for Halloween, this crowd-pleasing dish from Campbell's Kitchen looks spooky but tastes delicious. There's nothing quite like wowing your dinner guests with wild and wacky easy casserole recipes like this one!

Notes

Easy Substitution Tip: If fresh mozzarella cheese balls are not available, substitute 1 package (8 ounces) fresh mozzarella cheese. Cut crosswise into thirds. Cut each third in 6 wedges, for triangle-shaped eyes.
