Instructions

Spray a 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray and add 1 cup of the pizza sauce (saving the rest for later), alongside the quinoa, green pepper, turkey pepperoni, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and stir together.
Add in the chicken broth and stir. Finally, crumble up the ground beef and stir it in.
Set to HIGH heat and cook until the liquid is absorbed, the quinoa is tender, and the beef is cooked, about 2 to 3 hours (Mine only took 2 hours).
Add in the remaining 1/4 cup of pizza sauce and the cheese and stir. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, so the cheese can melt.
Divide the quinoa between four plates and garnish with grated mozzarella cheese.
