Slow Cooker Pizza – Easy, inexpensive and tasty

This Slow Cooker Pizza is an excellent recipe! Easy, inexpensive and tasty. I had no idea you could pull off pizza in a slow cooker! Made my life very easy today!

I kept it simple with just cheese, but next time I’ll definitely try some toppings.

The only catch: it’s a bit tricky to serve. Wait until it’s cooled off for at least 15 minutes before attempting to slice up.

    Kielbasa Cabbage and Onions – Slow Cooker

    The flavors in this Kielbasa Cabbage and Onions recipe may remind you of something your grandmother used to cook. A great dish for a simple fall supper.

    Serve this dish with toasted, buttered, low-carb rye bread.

    If desired, pass malt vinegar and butter to season the cabbage.

    The taste of the mustard is not dominant but it does add something to the dish.

    Will be using the crockpot, and the mustard, from now on!
