Delicious Crockpot pizza casserole recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) pizza sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) rotini pasta
  • 1 cup water (or beef broth for extra flavor)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced beef pepperoni
  • Fresh basil or extra Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Ground Beef Browning: Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks until evenly browned.
  2. Onion and Garlic Sauté: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions soften and turn translucent.
  3. Combining Ingredients in the Crockpot: Transfer the meat mixture to your Crockpot.
  4. Pasta Integration: Add the uncooked rotini pasta. Pour in 1 cup of water or beef broth, ensuring the pasta is submerged.
  5. Slow Cooking for Perfection: Cover your Crockpot and set it to cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours.
  6. Cheese and Beef Pepperoni Finish: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and sliced beef pepperoni on top.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by adding or reducing red pepper flakes.
  • Use beef broth for a richer flavor.
