Recipe #7 is a head-scratcher.
“Pizza” in a crockpot.
What?
Not “real” pizza but a dish that has pizza flavors. That got your attention, huh?
There is ground beef, pepperoni, mozzarella with onions, olives, mushrooms, and spinach (for some greenery!). I think it would hit your craving for pizza without the take-out pizza price.
