Recipe: Crock Pot Veggie Pizza

Skip pickup or delivery pizza tonight. Make your own pizza at home using your crock pot. It’s true! The recipe by Simple Nourished Living (who has a huge variety of slow cooker meals, by the way) is healthy and couldn’t be easier!

Ingredients:

• 1 refrigerated pizza dough (11 to 14 ounces)
• 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Any sliced veggies of your choice!

Directions:

1. Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray to make sure the pizza crust doesn’t stick.
2. Place the dough into the crock pot and spread out onto the sides about an inch using your fingers.
3. Evenly spread sauce onto the crust then put 3/4 cup of the cheese over the sauce.
4. Toss in the vegetables and spread them out all over the pizza, covering it. Then put the rest of the 1/4 cup of cheese on top of the veggies.
5. Cover your crock pot and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until the crust begins to brown around the edges.
6. Uncover and move lid quickly to make sure the condensation doesn’t drip onto your pizza.
7. Turn off crock pot and let stand for 15 minutes.
8. Using 2 spatulas, you should be able to lift it right out of the cooker.
9. Cut into 8 pizza slices and enjoy!
