Slow Cooker Pizza Joes

By Reneeb

Preparation

Step 1

1 In 12-inch skillet, cook ground beef and onions over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
2 Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Spoon beef mixture into slow cooker. Stir in bell pepper, pizza sauce, pepperoni, basil and oregano.
3 Cover; cook on Low setting 4 to 6 hours.
4 To assemble sandwiches, spoon about 1/3 cup beef mixture onto bottom halves of buns. Top each with scant 2 tablespoons cheese. Cover with top halves of buns.

For mini sandwiches that are more appropriate for appetizers, serve the meat mixture and cheese on dollar buns.
