Crockpot Pizza Casserole Recipe Add Your Favorite Toppings

This Crockpot Pizza Casserole recipe has all of the favorite flavors of pizza in a hearty pasta dish. I love the convenience of being able to make it ahead of time on busy weeknights. It doesn’t cook that long in the Crockpot, just two or three hours. Toss all the ingredients in the crockpot just before picking the kids up from school. This frees up that hectic dinner time rush to spend on homework or running errands, or maybe even relaxing for a little while with a good book – wouldn’t that be nice!

Ingredients in Crockpot Pizza Casserole

Ground Italian Sausage – you can also use ground beef or ground turkey. Onion Oregano Garlic Powder Kosher Salt Black Pepper Pizza Sauce – we like Rao’s pizza sauce, but you can use any brand. Rigatoni Mozzarella Cheese – sometimes I add a little bit of Parmesan cheese as well. Pepperoni Additional Pizza Toppings Parmesan Cheese, Fresh Basil, and Red Pepper Flakes for serving

Suggestions for Crockpot Pizza Bake

This recipe is very adaptable to your favorite toppings. You can omit or add any pizza toppings to make it personal to your family. We’ve also added green bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, Canadian bacon, diced tomatoes, pineapple, bacon, red onion, just about any toppings you like! If your slow cooker has a hot spot and tends to burn casserole type dishes, layer and fold sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil until you have a six-layer foil rectangle. Press the rectangle into the “hot spot” side of the slow cooker insert. The food will help hold the foil in place during cooking. You could also line the entire Crockpot with foil, which makes clean-up a breeze. You can use your preferred type of pasta for this Crockpot Pizza, but keep in mind that thicker pastas work best in the slow cooker. I prefer using Rigatoni in this dish because it holds its shape and firmness well. You can also use ziti or penne.
