Slice onions into a thin and short julienne. Slice green bell peppers into thin strips and also thinly slice the mushrooms.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 2 tbsp oil, swirl the pan then add the white onions and mushrooms. Cook until onions and mushrooms are starting to turn brown about 3-4 minutes. Add ¼ tsp kosher salt and stir well.
Add the green bell pepper and briefly cook, about 1 minute. Set aside veggies in a bowl.
Add 1 tbsp oil, swirl the pan and then add the hamburger. Cook the meat until it is fully cooked for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
In the bottom of a 4 quart crockpot spread ⅓ cup of pizza sauce.
Top with ¼ of the cooked hamburger meat and spread evenly.
Next top with ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add ¼ of the cooked mushrooms, bell peppers and onions.
Next, evenly distribute 8 pepperoni slices for the next layer.
Add ¼ of the sliced black olives.
Repeat this process 3 more times ending in a cheese layer with some pepperoni and hamburger meat.
