{Crock Pot} Pizza Casserole

OK, are you excited?  Pizza! In a crockpot! Well, not an actual pizza. But, many elements that make up a pizza..sauce, cheese, meat...You see what I'm sayin', right?  This casserole is great. You can add & subtract any ingredients to your liking. Also, you can make a small batch for your family meal or a huge batch for a big crowd.  I cut the recipe back a bit for us, but, it still was plenty for dinner & then leftovers at lunch the next day.

Adapted From

Ingredients:

2lbs ground turkey ( or beef)

1 TBSP dried onion ( or 1/4 cup fresh onion, chopped)

20oz spaghetti sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp oregano

8oz wide egg noodles

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

6-8 slices pepperoni

Directions:

Prepare egg noodle according to package. Drain. Set aside. Brown ground turkey in a large deep skillet. Add onion. Cook until no longer pink.  Add in spaghetti sauce, garlic and oregano. Mix well.

Spray crock pot with non stick cooking spray.

Spoon approx 2 cups of meat mixture on bottom of crock pot. Spoon approx 1 cup of noodles on top of meat mixture.  Then,  add a layer mozzarella & cheddar cheese. Repeat layers.

Top with pepperoni slices {you can also add pepperoni in your separate layers, not everyone here likes pepperoni, so, I only used on top layer}

Cover and cook on high for 1-1 1/2 hours or until cheese is melted.
