I have this exact recipe in my crockpot today. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
MWAH! Thanks for sharing!
I just checked and I have all the ingredients on hand so I am making this for dinner tonight!
Just wanted to let you know that this turned out to be so tasty!
I have a small family so I cut the recipe in half and I made two 8x8 pans...we ate one and I put the other in the freezer. Even my 5 year old liked this!
Instead of beef, I used ground turkey. The turkey absorbed the flavors of the pepperoni and almost tasted like sausage. Very delish!
I will be making this again!
