Slow Cooker Sausage Pizza Sloppy Joe

By Reneeb

Preparation

Step 1

1 Cook sausage in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; drain.
2 Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix sausage, stir-fry vegetables, pepperoni, pizza sauce and Italian seasoning in cooker.
3 Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours.
4 Stir in tomatoes. To serve, fill buns with sausage mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

Try making this recipe with a shredded Italian cheese blend instead of the mozzarella.

If the Italian sausage has a casing, remove and discard it before you brown the sausage. Stir the sausage frequently during cooking to break it up into small pieces.

For an instant party, set the slow cooker on the counter or buffet table along with a basket of buns. Just add deli salads, pickles, olives and brownies for dessert.
