Pepperoni Ziti Casserole image

I adapted this recipe for my crock-pot. Having 2 devout carnivores and 1 devout vegetarian in the house, it pleased both. I have a smaller crockpot that I use for my vegetarian crockpot and I added meat last.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and the casserole still turned out great. I used whole wheat pasta and low-fat cheese, and I added some chopped broccoli.
