Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups spiral pasta, cooked and drained
2 packages (3-1/2 ounces each) sliced pepperoni
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, pizza sauce and tomato paste.
In a 5-qt. slow cooker, layer the pasta, beef mixture, pepperoni and cheese. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until heated through. Yield: 8 servings.

If you'd like, substitute 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage for the pepperoni in Pizza in a Pot. Cook it along with the ground beef, green pepper and onion.

I made this today. I added our favorite pizza topping in 1/2 cup measures. Mushrooms, sliced green olives, bacon. I also added the el dente pasta near the end of the slow cooker process. About 20 minutes before we were ready to eat.

Fabulous recipe idea. Thanks!

I tweaked this a tiny bit to accomodate what I had on hand and baked it because I made it after work. Definitely a keeper!!

My husband RAVES about this. I used venison for the ground meat. Turned out great!

I've made this wonderful recipe for parties. People attack it like hungry sharks, then stand around scraping the crockpot for every last bit of cheese. I always use Italian cheese blend for more flavor. Also, I suggest that you definitely cook the pasta very al dente, because sometimes it can get mushy. Mushy or not, this recipe goes fast!

Easy favorite in my house!! I use ground turkey instead of ground beef, and I only use one pack of pepperoni turns out just wonderful.
