SLOW COOKER PIZZA CASSEROLE RECIPE

Here is another one of our family’s favorite meals. We love all these slow cooker italian recipes.  This one can be modified in several different ways to suit your taste.  You can use cheese or meat ravioli, jar pasta sauce or our homemade pasta sauce.  You can also add your favorite pizza toppings like olives, banana peppers, and/or bacon.   Prep time is approximately 20 minutes and it cooks in about 4 hours on low.  We love to serve this with garlic breadsticks.  Super easy yet delicious money saving meal.  

For all of us that coupon, pasta sauce and pepperoni are common ingredients that go on sale.  With the use of Sunday insert coupons or printable coupons we can purchase these at a significant discount. This is why I highly recommend stockpiling these staple food items when we can purchase them for pennies on the dollar. 

This is a very kid-friendly meal.  What kid doesn’t love ravioli and pizza?!  This recipe joins the best of both worlds. Our family loves this Slow Cooker Pizza Casserole Recipe. As always, please let us know your thoughts after you have tried it. I hope you are enjoying these recipes as much as we are enjoying posting them 🙂
