My kids wish I would cook this everyday, but it's just too cheesy so it is just a once in a while meal.
Slow Cooker Pizza Casserole
16 oz of rigatoni or large tube pasta
1-1/2 lbs of ground beef
1 onion chopped
4 cups (16oz) shredded mozzarella
2 (15 oz) pizza sauce
(10-3/4 oz) cream of mushroom soup
8 oz sliced pepperoni
Cook pasta according to package. I use whole wheat (or gluten free) noodles for this recipe. Meanwhile in skillet cook ground beef till almost not pink, add in onion, drain if needed. Cook thoroughly.
Drain pasta, place in slow cooker. I've used 4qt before & it is completely full. So now that I have a 6qt slow cooker I use that now. Stir in beef mixture, cheese, sauce, soup & pepperoni's. If your using the 4qt you'll see it takes some talent to stir this, if using the 6qt there should be plenty of room. Cover, cook on low for 2-3 hrs. Your mainly allowing time for this masterpiece to meld together.
I have to note when done, you'll want to soak this baby (crock pot) right away as the cheesiness is not friendly for cleaning time! Also if you make your own cream of mushroom soup let me know how this turns out. I've been wanting to try to make my own cream of's but haven't yet. Especially if I can make the cream of's to be gluten free. I am trying to get my family off the gluten, but they are not easily willing to make this change.
