Crockpot pizza!!!

I made pizza in a crockpot for the first time tonight.

Super easy and very flexible.

Crockpot pizza

1 pound ground meat [I omitted]

1 small onion, diced

1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes  (You could substitute one jar of spaghetti sauce for the 2 cans of tomatoes)
*[I added lots of veggies here... yellow & red peppers, mushrooms, minced carrots & zucchini]

Pizza crust:
1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
any pizza toppings you like: pepperoni slices, sliced olives, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.

 
Spray a 4 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray.  If you have a larger crockpot, it'll cook faster in it.

In a large skillet, brown beef, onion, and garlic on the stove. [I added the vegetables in at this stage]  Drain fat, and add tomato sauce and tomatoes (or spaghetti sauce) and oregano. Cook for a few minutes.  Remove from heat and put into the slow cooker.

In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the pizza crust: flour, milk, eggs, and cheese. Pour evenly over the top. Put pepperoni slices and any other pizza toppings on top of the pizza crust.

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the topping has turned golden brown, puffed up, and pulled away from the sides.

Enjoy!!!

More recipes...

This Apple Crisp was very easy and made in a slow cooker.  I used graham crackers for the 'crust.'

I made Garlic Artichoke Dip the other night when we had some friends over for dinner.  I couldn't find marinated artichokes so I added a dry pack of ranch dressing/dip to the mix.  It added great flavor.


I made Honeyed Banana Berry Cookies for dessert.  I'd never had creamy honey!  Very sweet but gooood!They weren't like a normal crunchy cookie.  They were much more cake like.  It was good to try something a little different. This only has 4 ingredients too!! :)


I made Cornflake Chicken Tenders for dinner last night.  A big hit especially with my toddler.  He even helped crush the cornflakes.  He loved that!!!  They are healthy too! ;)

Cornflake Chicken Tenders
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips

1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 egg whites
2 cups finely crushed corn flakes cereal (a Honey Nut cereal would be good too!)

Heat the oven to 400˚F. Place an oven-safe cooling rack on a baking sheet and set aside.[This will allow the chicken to get crispy on both sides]

Combine the flour and spices in a small bowl; set aside. Crack 2 eggs and separate the egg whites from the yoke & put whites in another small bowl; set aside. Place the crushed cereal in a medium-sized bowl or pie plate.

Dip the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour, then the egg whites, then the cereal. Place the coated chicken strips on the rack in the baking sheet.  Repeat until all done with chicken.
Bake the coated chicken pieces in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Baked French Toast

I forgot to take a picture.... but it was delish.  You could adapt this recipe with any fruit, dried fruit (raisins), nuts or anything you like.  You can use whole or low fat milk.  I added some almond extract too.  You can even add some liqueur too.   I made it the night before & just popped it in the oven in the morning.


Baked French Toast
1 loaf challah, sliced 1-inch cubes  (you could use french or cinnamon raisin bread too)
4 cups milk
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar [I used agave syrup]
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons of extact or ¼ cup liqueur
other flavorings – ½ cup toasted nuts, 1 teaspoon zest, ½ cup dried fruit

Grease a baking dish. Arrange half of the bread in a tightly-packed layer in the pan. Add the nuts, dried fruit or fresh fruit. Place the remaining bread on top of the first layer.

Whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, salt, extract/liqueur, and zest, or fruit/flavorings of your choice and pour over the bread. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.


Bake at 400 degrees until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Serve with maple syrup, agave syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar or all of the above.
