This recipe completely filled my 3.5-quart crock pot.

*I used 3 cups of my homemade sauce
**I used about 1 cup (packed) of my homemade pepperoni

This recipe is wonderful! The recipe ingredients and instructions worked just perfectly, and the end result was a tasty dinner casserole. I have been disappointed with a lot of crock pot recipes I've tried in the past, but we all agreed that this one was yummy!!

It was also easy to make, served a lot of people, and didn't take too long to cook. The 3-4 hour cooking time makes it the perfect lunch to start before going away for the morning. We really enjoyed this dish! My rating: 10/10
