Pizza night is a sacred tradition in our house. But sometimes, making a dozen individual slices (and cleaning up after them) feels like a lot — especially after a long day. That’s exactly how this Crockpot Pizza Casserole came to be.
One hectic Tuesday evening, I was craving the cheesy, saucy goodness of pizza, but I also wanted something hearty and hands-off. I had some pasta, ground beef, marinara, and mozzarella in the fridge, and the slow cooker on the counter. That’s when inspiration struck — What if I turned pizza into a baked pasta dish… in the crockpot?
Let me tell you — it worked like magic. The slow cooking gave the sauce time to soak into every piece of pasta, the cheese melted into gooey layers, and the pepperoni added that signature pizza flavor that made everyone at the table go silent with the first bite (a rare moment, trust me!).
This Crockpot Pizza Casserole has been on repeat ever since. It’s rich, cheesy, full of flavor, and one of the easiest weeknight dinners you’ll ever make. The best part? You can customize it endlessly and walk away while it cooks itself.
