Slow Cooker Pizza | How to Make Pizza with a Crock Pot

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni lowers calories, while salami is often less expensive.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be healthier, while canned is budget-friendly.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: no olives

Green olives provide a similar flavor, while omitting olives is cost-effective.

Start with refrigerated pizza dough.

Open the pizza dough and roll it out, pushing it into the slow cooker.

Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray.

Push the dough around the lining of the slow cooker, going up the sides about an inch.

Spread pizza sauce on the bottom of the dough in the slow cooker.

Add shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Sprinkle powdered parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella.

Spread cut pepperoni over the cheese.

Add more mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.

Cover and cook on low for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, checking for doneness.

Increase the temperature for the last 10 minutes to firm up the crust.

Loosen the sides of the pizza to help remove it from the slow cooker.

Cut into pieces and serve, optionally adding more parmesan cheese on top.
