Crockpot Pizza

As requested, here's my crockpot pizza recipe. It's really one of those things that I just throw together, so all measurements are guess-timates.

Crockpot Pizza

1 lb hamburger, browned and drained

1 box rotini or macaroni, cooked al dente (not quite done)

2+ cups mozzarella cheese

1/2 bag sliced pepperoni

1 extra large jar spaghetti sauce (3lb size) or two regular-sized jars (You can do it with only one jar of sauce, but we like it better with the extra.)

1 T minced garlic

Italian seasoning to taste

And other pizza toppings if available: chopped onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc.

Brown and drain the hamburger, then add half the sauce in with the meat. Layer meat/sauce, noodles, cheese, pepperoni, and repeat layers until crockpot is full, ending with a layer of sauce. Cook on low all day. Shortly before serving, add more cheese to the top and allow it to melt.

Ok I just did this for tonight and I had to swipe some before dh comes home. It's only 3 and it smelled so good.

this is a keeper.

OK couple of comments

I used 1 lb of macaroni if anyone wonders how much is a box. Missy helped me there, thanks Missy.

I didn't want to use up my second and last can of Hunts thick and rich pasta sauce (I am waiting for a good sale)-- I use the blue tin with extra cheese and garlic

so instead of the second can of spaghetti sauce (Amy recommends 2 of the jars) I threw in a 28 oz can of Hunts diced tomatoes in tomato juice. juice and all.

It was getting a bit thick and looked like it needed more liquid so I figured that would help and it did.

I threw in a good pinch of oregano and basil and garlic powder but it needs a touch of salt.

Probably because I switched the second jar of spaghetti sauce to a tin of diced tomatoes plus I didn't use salt in my cooking water.

I also found the macaronis are quite cooked as of now, an hour before being done.

I have a crockpot that runs a bit too hot, so next time I am thinking I'll throw the pasta in just half cooked, not even al dente

and for a little more juice and salt I may just throw in the liquid from the can of chopped mushroom stems and peices.
