Pepperoni Pizza Chili Recipe Notes
As soon as I saw this recipe for pepperoni pizza chili show up in my inbox I knew I wanted to give it a try.
I made several changes to lighten it up, shaving more than 100 calories and half the fat from the original, by using 95% lean ground beef, turkey sausage and turkey pepperoni.
I also made a half batchsince I wasn't feeding a crowd.
You could cut the calories and bulk it up even more by adding a cup or two of chopped mushrooms in with the meat.
Be sure to play around and adjust this recipe to suit your spice tolerance.
Designed for the stove top, I've included instructions for the slow cooker (affiliate link) too.
And like with so many soup and chili recipes, I think it's even better the next day. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 pound 95% lean ground beef
- ½ pound hot Italian-style turkey sausage

Instructions
In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, cook the beef, sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat, stirring and breaking up the meat, until meat is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain if necessary.
Stir in the beans, salsa, pizza sauce, pepperoni, water, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat. Cover and let bubble gently, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Cover and cook on low until heated through, 4 to 6 hours.
