Supremem Pizza Fondue

So I decided that I wanted to pick out a couple recipes and try them out this week. That is exactly what I did. On sunday I wanted to do something that I could just put into the crock pot and have it be done by the time we came home from church. I didn't want to do a roast but I wanted something that would keep me warm. Soup! I was thinking of Taco Soup until Casey found this recipe. It was amazing! It isn't exactly soup but it could be. So I made it. Supreme Pizza Fondue. It was delicious. It was spicy but sweet and it really did last like pizza. We dipped a baguette into it. We put some parmasen and some mozzarella cheese on the top to make it taste more like a pizza.YUMMY!

It also makes great leftovers. We used it for sauce over our pasta last night for dinner. It was delicious! 

Here is the recipe: 

(There is two ways to cook this. I did the slow cooker way)
