This dish is loaded with anything you would top your pizza with all done in a slow cooker.

  2. Combine potatoes and garlic mixture with pepperoni, (save some for the top)
  3. add blended cheeses, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker
  4. Pour pizza sauce over top, and add the rest of the cheese on top
