Pizza casserole is a quick and easy dinner that can be prepared in the slow cooker.  Pasta is layered with chunky tomato sauce studded with ground beef, ground sausage, onion, peppers, and mushrooms.  Before setting the timer, the casserole is topped with plenty of mozzarella and parmesan cheese and pepperoni.
