Cooking method – Satue pan + crock pot
Spray crock pot with cooking spray or line with liner for easier clean up.
Brown meat with onions and spices. Drain the fat.
Mix the pizza sauce, green pepper, and black olives with the meat in a skillet and pour into the sprayed crock. Lay this out as flat as you can.
Top with the cheese and pepperoni.
Next, cook on low for 4 hours to melt the cheese.
Cooking method – crock pot only
Put the ground meat into the crock pot uncooked. Put the onion in the meat mixture and stir. I use my Mix n Chop from Pampered Chef, but a wooden spoon would work really well too.
Next, I stir in the pizza sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let cook for 4-6. hours or until the meat is cooked through (I leave it to cook while I am at work for 8 hours, but it would be done before then).
Next, when I get home from work I add the cheese and pizza toppings we prefer. Let cook in the crock pot until the cheese is melted.
