The JMB Family: Crockpot Pizza Pasta

Another easy and cheap recipe but this time it involves the crockpot! This recipe comes from Moms With Crockpots.

1 pound of ground Italian sausage browned and drained
½ pound of ground beef browned and drained
½ large white onion chopped
8 ounce box of short pastarigatoni, penne or ziti, cooked... but undercooked slightly
3 14 ounce jars of pizza sauce
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic chopped
8 ounce package of sliced pepperoni placed between paper towels and microwaved for a few seconds to remove all the grease
16 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese

In a large bowl mix everything together except for the mozzarella cheese
Spray the inside of a 4 - 6 quart Crock-Pot with non-stick spray
Layer the mixture alternately with the shredded mozzarella cheese (three layers, ending with the cheese on top)
Cover and cook on LOW for 3½ - 4 hours. If cooked for longer than 4 hours or on high it may burn (THREE hours worked perfectly for me)
Serve with a side salad
