I fry my pepperoni to get the grease out and drain on paper towels, I wonder if this would work in this chili?

I made this tonight and it was great! I used a 1/2 lb. of turkey sausage and only 1 lb of ground beef and 1/2 the pepperoni and it was perfect for us!

This was much better the 2nd day (as chili usually is!). The pepperoni ended up adding a lot of grease to it. I might not add as much pepperoni next time.

Great chili recipe. Very hearty and filling so maybe consider adjusting quantity as necessary. I could only eat about 1/2 as much as I usually do with another recipe.
