January is National Slow Cooker Month and I am celebrating with a few of my friends to celebrate all thing slow cooker!

I love using my slow cooker, and it makes my weeknight so much easier. We cook everything from chicken to roasts to soups to pasta!

One of our sponsors for #NationalSlowCookerMonth is Banza. Banza's pasta made from chickpeas. It contains 23G of plant-based protein per serving and has 30% fewer net carbs than traditional pastas. I used Banza pasta to make my Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Casserole and it is a new family favorite!

I layer pasta, pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning into my slow cooker and allow the casserole to bake till it is melted and hot. My family loves pizza and this is always an instant hit that I can put together really quickly any day of the week. One of the great things about this recipe is that the pasta can go into the slow cooker uncooked, and it makes for a super easy prep!

What do you need to make Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Casserole?

  • Shaped Pasta (like Banza Pasta)
  • Pizza Sauce
  • Pepperoni Rounds
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Slow Cooker

How do you make Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Casserole?

  1. Add pasta, pizza sauce, and water to the slow cooker. Stir well.  Cook on low and cover. 
  2. Stir after 60 minutes. Add ⅔ cup cheese and ⅓ cup quartered pepperoni. Top with remaining 1 ⅓ cup shredded cheese and pepperoni rounds. Replace cover. 
  3. Cook on low for an additional 60 minutes. The total cook time is 2 hours. Slow cookers can run warmer and I advise to check the pasta at the 90 minute mark. 
  4. Serve.

    Fabulous casserole that must be incredibly flavorful. Combining pizza, pasta flavors is the thing in itself, not to say if you make it in a slow cooker. Yum!
