She Starts Pressing Store-Bought Dough Inside Her Crock Pot. The End Result YUM!
The cheesy, meaty, saucy and all around appetizing smell of fresh hot pizza is an aroma that a rare few can resist. The mouth watering dish is beloved by people of all ages. Even the ninja turtles and animals, like the infamous pizza rat, love scarfing down a slice! If you also happen to love sinking your teeth into some crispy, delicious, homemade pizza, then you have to try this recipe for crock pot pizza.
As strange as it may sound, you can bake stuff in a slow cooker and achieve many different types of food textures, from crunchy to moist. It’s often assumed that crock pots are just for whipping up soups, sauces, meats, stews, or other liquid-based recipes.
That’s simply not true and this yummy pizza recipe is a case in point. It cooks a lot quicker than the average slow cooker recipe and once you throw all the ingredients together it’ll be done and ready to serve within an hour or so.
A list of all the ingredients you need, plus recipe instructions, are below and definitely check out the accompanying video from the YouTube channel averagebetty. It’s an excellent tutorial put together by Sara O’Donnell where she shows us step by step exactly how to make a crock pot pizza.
She made a standard pepperoni pizza but you can customize the ingredients any way you’d like to fit your tastes. Most of what you need comes prepared, so it’s incredibly simple and convenient because you just have to combine your favorite types of foods!
Ingredients: – Pizza dough – prepared or store bought – Pizza sauce – Shredded cheese – keep it simple with mozzarella or try a different kind – Toppings – any that you like!
Directions: Start by oiling the base of the crock pot and line it with a few strips of parchment paper that crisscross and overlap each other at the center. You should end up crafting them into a sling and this step will make removing the pizza later on a whole lot easier.
Lightly sprinkle a tiny bit of either cornmeal or flour onto the the bottom of the slow cooker. Next, take the pizza dough and press it down firmly and evenly along the bottom of the pot. Form and shape a crust around the edges and make sure to trim and remove any excess dough you may end up with.
Now it’s time to add on the pizza sauce, spread as little or as much as you’d like on the dough. Follow that up with a layer of cheese and then add the toppings. Place the lid on before cooking it on high for 1½ hours. Finally, lift it out of the pot using the parchment sling you made earlier.
Cook times will vary depending on the types and amounts of toppings you used. You may have to cook it a little longer if you chose to load your pizza, so keep that in mind. Also, after about an hour condensation will likely appear on the inside of the lid and if you don’t remove it your pizza may end up soft or mushy.
Simply wipe it off with a paper towel and replace the now dry lid back on, then cook for the remaining half hour. Now all that’s left to do is to slice up the pie, eat, and enjoy the homemade deliciousness. Pass this recipe along and share it with friends and family, it’ll add a little more flavor and convenience to their lives. Bon Appétit!

Pizza Delivery Guy Realized She Was Desperately Mouthing ‘Help Me’. He Immediately Attempts The Unthinkable!

There’s no question that pizza delivery drivers see their fair share of strange things while out on the job. They’re tasked with going to many different homes where people tend to be mostly relaxed and off-guard. After all, we feel safe and want to be comfortable in our houses. While many people might answer the door in their pajamas or more questionable outfits, that’s usually the extent of any possible awkwardness.
For one Domino’s pizza delivery driver in Waldo, Wisconsin, the situation he walked into one night wasn’t awkward, instead it was scary and potentially dangerous. Joey Grundl was out delivering a pizza to a residential address and after he rang the doorbell a middle aged man named Dean Hoffman answered the door. As the man paid for the pizza, Joey noticed that behind him stood a woman who he assumed must be his wife or girlfriend. The woman pointed to her eye, which was bruised and black, then mouthed “help me, call the police.”
Even though he was stunned and alarmed, Joey didn’t let his emotions show. Instead he finished the delivery and walked calmly back to his car. He didn’t want to let on that he’d seen the woman and risk escalating the situation. As soon as he was safe inside his car, he called 911 and explained what he had seen.
Officers were dispatched to the address and when they approached the house they could see Hoffman in the window looking out at them. After they knocked, he opened the door but blocked the entrance with his body. The woman knew the police were there and couldn’t see her, so she began to yell for help and the cops forced their way inside to rescue the trapped lady.
According to the woman, Hoffman was her ex-boyfriend and he had forcibly entered her house earlier that afternoon. She’d told him to leave and had tried to call 911 but he ripped the phone out of her hands and dragged her away. A physical altercation ensued with Hoffman shoving and punching her in the face as she tried to escape. He threatened her and at one point tied her up with a power cord and gagged her with a towel, which made it very hard for her to breathe. The woman thought she was going to die but when Hoffman decided to order a pizza, she was given a chance to be saved.
When Joey arrived to drop the pie off, she silently asked him for help, and he answered by calling the police and reporting what he’d seen. In the end, the woman was rescued and Hoffman was arrested on multiple felony charges of burglary, kidnapping, strangulation and suffocation, false imprisonment, and intimidation of a victim. When Joey was told that he had probably saved a life, he just smiled and said “yeah, I guess.” He was simply doing his job and the right thing but ended up a hero in the process!

Rescued Pit Bull Gets His First Taste of Pizza. His Celebration Dance Is The Funniest.

Who doesn’t love pizza? The numbers alone don’t lie. According to the National Association of Pizza Operators (NAPO) Americans purchase three billion pizzas every year and 350 slices are sold around the country with each passing second. That’s a staggering amount of cheesy, meaty, saucy heaven being scarfed down!
It’s not only humans who can’t resist the appetizing aroma of a freshly baked pizza pie, our pets mouths also water when they get a whiff of it. A few animals even go nuts when they get a bite of the tasty treat, like The Mighty Finn does in this hilarious video of him getting what his owner calls the “Pizza Crust Zoomies!”
The clip starts off with Finn licking his lips in anticipation of the pizza crust snack that he knows is coming. As soon as his owner places the doughy piece in his mouth he reacts immediately and goes off like a rocket! The pit bull joyfully streaks around the room with the weirdest, yet most adorable run and zooms back and forth as if he’s bouncing off the walls! Finn only stops so that he can finish chewing his food and swallow it before resuming his speedy trip back around to pick up a few pieces he dropped in all his excitement. Then he’s right back looking up at his human for some more pizza crust which she happily obliges! Judging from the sound of her laughter, it seems as if she’s just as delighted as her dog is!
The video was posted on the sweet pit bull’s own personal Facebook page, The Mighty Finn, and while he’s happy and healthy now, things weren’t always so great. Finn is a rescue dog who was saved from a life of neglect during a cruelty investigation conducted by the ASPCA. When they found him, his journey was just beginning. He was transferred to the rescue group Plenty of Pit Bulls who placed him in a foster home in order to help readjust and acclimate him back to a normal, healthy life.
When he was finally adopted by his loving owners they brought him back to his forever home where he met his new family, two cats and three other dogs. Now he always has a friend to snuggle up next to and play with! Life certainly turned out for the better for Finn. These days he can be found relaxing in the sunshine, chewing on a toy, romping around at the beach, and of course, eating pizza!
