It's not delivery, it's pizza in a crock pot.

I'm weird. Just in case you didn't already know that. How am I weird this time, exactly? Well...I'm one of the few people on the planet who is NOT a pizza fan. Sometimes, however, I find myself in the mood for some pizza-y goodness. I love me some Bertucci's carmine or some Papa John's pineapple, but we don't do a lot of pizza. The delivery person we see at our front door most often comes from the local wing place. Still, I wanted to try this fondue recipe. It's so easy. The ingredients are probably in your kitchen. Right. Now. And that, my friends, is even easier than picking up the phone to call Papa. The downside is, of course, that you have to know that you're in the mood for pizza 3 hours before you're ready to eat it.
 
"Pizza Fondue" (6 quart pot)

~1 24 oz jar of spaghetti sauce with meat (I used Prego's mini meatball.)
~2 t Italian seasoning
~1 T cornstarch
~1/2 cup pepperoni slices
~1/2 cup fresh pineapple, chopped (The original recipe was sans pineapple, but we had leftovers from yesterday's rocky road fondue, so I added it. Besides, homemade pizza's not really complete without pineapple, right?)
~1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Grease crock pot.
Combine all ingredients except cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
Add cheese 2 hours into cooking.
Serve with...stuff. We had breadsticks, garlic naan, sourdough bread, peppers, mushrooms, and cauliflower.

This was so good. I must've been in a pizza mood because it really hit the spot. Or maybe it was just that good. Just think of all of the different versions of this you could make! And the things to dip! Endless possibilities! You could easily adapt this to make it friendly for pretty much anyone. (Except maybe a level 5 vegan).

  1. Yum! Yum! Yum! I think my little man may even eat this! (and he pretty much subsides on pancakes and mac and cheese) :)
