Cook Time: 4 hrs
Total Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare your slow cooker by lightly spraying the interior with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces that will easily "bubble up" during cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered biscuit dough pieces with pizza sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Add diced ham and pineapple chunks to the biscuit mixture, gently folding to distribute ingredients throughout.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the mixture and stir to incorporate the herbs evenly.
- Transfer half of the biscuit mixture to the prepared slow cooker, creating an even base layer.
- Sprinkle approximately 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the first layer.
- Add the remaining biscuit mixture on top of the cheese layer, creating a second layer.
- Top the final layer with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ensuring even coverage.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the biscuit dough is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the lid and allow the pizza to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Use a large serving spoon to scoop and serve the bubble-up pizza, ensuring each serving gets a mix of biscuit, cheese, ham, and pineapple.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or additional Italian seasoning before serving for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Tips
- Spray your slow cooker generously with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Cut biscuit dough into uniform quarter-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- For extra flavor, consider using a flavored pizza sauce or adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
- Make sure to layer your ingredients carefully, creating even distributions of cheese, ham, and pineapple for balanced bites.
- Resist the urge to lift the slow cooker lid during cooking, as this can increase cooking time and reduce moisture retention.
- Let the pizza rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the ingredients to set and make serving easier.
- For a crispy top, you can briefly broil the finished pizza in the oven for 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Experiment with different protein options like bacon or chicken as alternatives to ham.
