CROCKPOT PIZZA SLOPPY JOES
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- ¾ cup chopped pepperoni slices
- 1 ½ cup marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Buns for serving
Instructions
- Brown the beef, peppers and onions in a large skillet over medium heat until the meat is crumbled and no longer pink.
- Drain any excess grease from the meat and transfer to the bottom of a 5 quart or larger slow cooker.
- Add remaining ingredients except for shredded cheese to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or high for 2-3 hours until the onions and peppers are tender.
- Add the shredded cheese on top of the meat in the crockpot and cover. Allow to cook for another 5-10 minutes on high until the cheese has melted.
- Serve on buns.
Nutrition
Yes! Ground turkey or ground chicken works well. You may want to add a tablespoon of olive oil when browning to keep it moist.
Toast the buns and serve the meat mixture separately so everyone can assemble their own sandwich.
Mozzarella is classic, but provolone, cheddar, or an Italian blend also taste great.
