Tips, Tricks, Questions, and Comments

What if I don’t have an Instant Pot?

No worries, while I love my Instant Pot I realize that owning a lot of miscellaneous appliances isn’t always necessary. This recipe works just as well in a crock pot or on the stovetop. I love doing this in the Instant Pot because it gives me a few minutes unattended to pull together the rest of the meal. Or fix myself a cocktail, depending on the kind of day I’ve had!

Crock Pot Directions:

Brown the ground beef, sausage, bell pepper, and onion, then drain the excess grease. Add all ingredients to the crock pot and can allow it to warm through on low for 1-2 hours or high for less than an hour. Keep in mind how your crock pot works, the food is fully cooked you are simply warming through and allowing flavors to mingle.

Stove Top:

Brown the ground beef, sausage, bell pepper, and onion – drain excess grease. Add all ingredients to the pan and allow to warm through on medium heat, stirring often.

Mix It Up

This is pizza after all, so for this recipe as long as you have the meat and the sauce you are off to a great start! Don’t like bell peppers? Leave them out! Want mushrooms? Add them in!

Remember a lot of recipes like this are a jumping-off point! Don’t throw out the whole recipe just because there is an added ingredient that you aren’t particularly fond of. Make it your own and one that your family will eat!

You can also use 2 pounds of hamburger or 2 pounds of sausage. I like the combination but if I don’t have both I just make due. If I use just hamburger I like to add some Italian seasoning to the ground beef as it is browning for a little extra flavor that might be lacking from not using sausage.
