Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Bake

Hi Shabby Creek friends!  I hope summer has been treating you all well.  My kids are in denial that school starts in two weeks but, alas, it’s true and it’s time to start thinking about some easy back to school weeknight meals.  We tested this Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Bake over the weekend and I have to say… HUGE hit with the kiddos.

Easy Slow cooker Recipe: Pepperoni Pizza Bake

It’s “tax free” time here in Florida for about 10 days so while we have been running around gathering back to school supplies and new school clothes (dang, these boys just keep growing!) it’s nice to be able to pop something easy in the slow cooker and have a fun little pizza inspired meal ready in no time.

Easy and Delicious Crockpot Pizza Bake

When the school year gets going it’s hard not to fall into a routine of making the same things week after week.  Pillsbury actually sent me this recipe a week or so ago – it’s not a sponsored post but they do email me some awesome ideas from time to time and this was one I had to try.

Even funnier, after I made it and started writing this, I realized that one of my bloggy friends Dorothy from Crazy For Crust had actually created this recipe FOR Pillsbury.  I love that – she has great recipes.  It’s a small web after all!!

Simple and quick dinner ideas: Crockpot Pepperoni Pizza Bake

The prep only took about 10 minutes but I could have moved a little faster if I’d wanted to. I’ll be honest I completely forgot the paper towel trick.  Oops (maybe I should have moved even slower). It still turned out great but I think it’s a good idea to do that next time.

Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Bake

Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Keyword pepperoni pizza, Pepperoni Pizza Bake, slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup pizza sauce of your choice
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 8 oz

Instructions

  1. Spray insert of 6- to 7-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Open and separate the refrigerated biscuits into 8 biscuits.
  2. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces; place in large bowl.
  3. Cut 1 cup pepperoni slices into quarters. Place half of the quarters in bowl with biscuit pieces. Add 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning to bowl with cut biscuits and pepperoni quarters; toss to mix.
  4. Place biscuit mixture as evenly as possible in bottom of slow-cooker insert.
  5. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over top of biscuits, making sure to get some sauce around edges so that biscuits are not touching insert without sauce in between.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and remaining half of pepperoni over top, trying to keep cheese away from touching insert.
  7. Cover top of insert with large paper towel. Place slow-cooker lid on top of paper towel. (This will prevent condensation from dripping onto biscuits during cooking.)
  8. Cook on High heat setting 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hour. (Not all slow cookers cook the same. Test for doneness after 1 hour and 30 minutes by inserting knife into center to make sure biscuits are fully baked; outer edge will be dark golden brown.)
  9. Remove bubble-up bake from slow-cooker insert while warm to prevent biscuits from sticking to insert.
  10. Serve warm

Easy and Fun Dinner ideas- Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Bake. Perfect for back to school time!

 I hope you will give it a try.  I think this would also be great with browned sausage (drained and patted dry) or some red peppers and mushrooms thrown in.  I can tell it’s a pretty versatile recipe and I can’t wait to try it with other ingredients!

    So you think this could be doubled? We are a family of 7 and would need more than this.

      I make something very similar, except I use my homemade biscuit dough. I make a double batch for our family of 8 – works just fine in my crockpot.

    I just made this and it is really good. I think I will try making this in the oven. Baking it at the temp the biscuits are to be done. It just takes to long in the crockpot and even at 2 hrs it still was doughy.

    I made this but instead of putting it in the slow cooker I made it on a baking sheet in the oven at 325 for about 20 minutes. Came out great! Definitely let it cool for a few minutes before eating as well. The kids loved this, will make this again! Thanks

    Loved this! The bottom was burnt, might try putting a layer of pizza sauce down prior to placing dough in.

    It sounds good, but what is the insert you are talking about? Are you refering to a liner?

      The slow cooker insert, the piece you place the ingredients in and that lifts out to be washed 🙂
