From my old CrockPot Blog-
When I was looking for a recipe like this, I found several and I have just combined them into this one that works for us.
Crockpot Pizza - feeds 6
1 lb hamburger, browned and well drained
8oz shredded mozarella
1/4 c chopped onion
1/2 package sliced pepperoni - chopped
half a package of rotini (spiral) pasta
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup (substitute)4 oz mushrooms
1 jars pizza sauce
Brown hamburger with onion. Mix hamburger, onion, pepperoni, cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms and pizza sauce together in Crockpot. Cook on low for 4 hours.
Just before you are ready to serve, cook pasta. Add the pasta and shredded cheese to the sauce mixture in crockpot and cook together until the cheese in melted - about 15 minutes.
Moving to Abu Dhabi from Houston, Texas USA opened my eyes to a world of food. Abu Dhabi sits in the crossroads of a variety of cuisines and has inspired me to learn to cook a wider variety of foods and to cook well for my family.

Basil Chicken Merlot
From my old CrockPot Blog-
Basil Chicken Merlot with Wild Mushrooms
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 pounds roasting chicken, cut into individual pieces, skinned
1½ cups crimini mushrooms, cleaned and thickly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
6 ounce can tomato paste
1/3 cup Merlot, or other dry red wine
1 teaspoon ground oregano
2 teaspoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
3 cups cooked ziti pasta, drained
Romano cheese for garnish
Directions:
In a large skillet on stovetop set to medium-high heat, heat oil.
Once the oil is hot, brown one-half of the chicken pieces on each side about 3 to 5 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set all of the browned chicken aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Sauté these vegetables for 7-8 minutes or until the onions are soft.
Place the stoneware on the slow cooker heating base and add the vegetables. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the broth, tomato paste, wine, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours or on Low for 7 to 9 hours. Stir in the fresh basil. Spoon the pasta into a deep, large serving bowl or platter. Ladle the chicken and mushrooms over the pasta and spoon the extra sauce over all. Garnish with the Romano cheese.
