Crock Pot Pizza Casserole

By Crock_Pots_Rock

This is a great way to get your favorite pizza flavors into a casserole. It's super kid friendly (and husband friendly too (o: )

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground Italian sausage, browned and drained
• 1/2 pound of ground beef, browned and drained
• 1/2 large white onion, chopped
• 8 ounce box of short pasta (rigatoni, penne or ziti), cooked... but undercooked slightly
• 3 14 ounce jars of pizza sauce
• 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 8 ounce package of sliced pepperoni, placed between paper towels and microwaved for a few seconds to remove all the grease
• 16 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl mix everything together except for the mozzarella cheese.

Spray the inside of a 4 - 6 quart crock pot with non-stick spray.

Layer the mixture alternately with the shredded mozzarella cheese. I did three layers... ending with the cheese on top.

Cover and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. If cooked for longer than 4 hours or on high it may burn.

Serve with your favorite breadsticks and a side salad.
