  • 2 (4 oz) cans mushrooms, drained
  • 2 1/4 c. pasta, such as elbows, spiral, etc. (Mueller’s brand only)
  • Add-ins, such as pepperoni, ground beef, onions, basil, Mrs. Dash, or other herbs and spices you prefer and Mozzarella cheese for topping, shredded is best

  1. Dump everything except cheese in a crock pot and cook on high for 1.5 hours.
  2. Stir.
  3. Top with however much mozzarella cheese you want.
  4. Continue cooking till cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

This Pizza Pasta great for when you want pizza but don’t need to spend the extra money for a big family to have pizza. It’s also great because you can change out the ingredients for variety and to save a trip to the store. Just use what you have. You can even use cheddar cheese if you don’t have mozzarella. You can add side dishes, such as salad, fruit, green beans, garlic bread, et cetera.
