WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

PEPPERONI PIZZA-FLAVORED RICE

2 cups uncooked brown rice
2 cups pizza sauce
3 1/2 cups water
1 can (7-oz) mushrooms, drained
3 oz pepperoni slices
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

In a crockpot or slow cooker, combine the rice, pizza sauce, water, mushrooms, and pepperoni slices, stirring to combine well.  Place lid on cooker and cook on low 4 to 6 hours or in high 4 to 5 hours.

Before serving, sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.


I was glad to see a recipe that uses brown rice. I suggest always using brown rice.  It is so good you will hardly notice a difference and brown rice is a whole-grain, making it much better for you.  White rice is refined rice. Tip: Brown rice usually requires a little more cooking time (if you are substituting brown for white in your recipes).
