In the TikTok video, she took her pizza dough, and placed it in the bottom of the cooker, rolling up the sides.

She then poured on some pizza sauce, as she said: "I'm just using the jarred sauce and the pre made dough because I'm showing you an easy version.

"But you could always make it from scratch if you want."

Mistie topped that with grated cheese and then started adding some fresh vegetables - red and green pepper, red onion and mushrooms.

"Then we're gonna top that with some turkey sausage, cause as I said, we're trying to make this a little bit lighter and healthier," she continued.

"So all these things add up to a healthier recipe."

She then mixed some crushed garlic with some melted butter, which she spread on top of the crust.

"A little bit goes a long way," Mistie said, as she warned not to overdo the garlic.

Once your pizza is prepped and ready, cook it on high for two or three hours - depending on the size of your slow cooker.

"You get a nice golden brown crust," she said.

"This was delicious.

"Your slow cooker is going to surprise you!"

"Easy deep dish pizza," Mistie captioned her video.

But people in the comments section weren't sure that the slow cooker was the right way to cook a pizza.

"We don't have to make EVERYTHING in a slow cooker," one wrote.

"It's the best option with deep dish," Mistie replied.

"Everyone's so creative," another added.

"Cries in Chicago," a third said.

"That's A LOT of dough. though," someone else said.

"That dough is going to be so gummy," another wrote.

To which Mistie replied: "It wasn’t!"

"That’s not a deep dish and it’s going to be super gummy…" someone else insisted.

And others insisted they wouldn't spend three hours cooking a pizza when you can make one a lot faster.

"That whole thing would take 15 minutes in the oven," one wrote.

"Now, who's going to wait 2 hours for that small pizza? nobody!!!" another added.

"2 hours right? Normal pizza is cooked about 4 minutes," a third commented.

"Or make it the old fashioned way and have your pizza in 20 mins instead of 3 hours," someone else said.

But some people said they couldn't wait to try the recipe out.

"Looks great," one wrote.

"I’m going to try it!"
