We love this on a chilly day. A big bowl warms you right up, and the leftovers freeze well. I first made this recipe one day when I decided I didn't enjoy making pizza crust—I just put the pizza in a bowl instead! —Marilouise Wyatt Cowen, West Virginia

I made this for a family reunion, it was a huge success. I tripled the recipe and the pot was empty in no time.

No one in my household would take a second bite. Even my 6 six yr old that loves pepperoni pizza and loves chili thought it was terrible.

I forgot to add in my review that I do this in the crockpot- high for 4 hours, low for at least 1. :)

This is the only chili I will eat! I do not use hamburger, but jimmy dean's sage sausage...it tastes much better. Top with fresh mozzarella and serve with either garlic breadsticks (for a more pizza theme), round cheese bread or with cornbread- all are delicious!

Good....but not really the "chili" I'd hoped it would be. It seemed more like a pizza pasta sauce, that someone added kidney beans to, rather than a chili. It was very liquid-y and didn't really thicken up so instead we served it over pasta.

Very good recipe! I did omit the salt. I recommend putting on the mozzarella. The perfect topping to make it taste even more like pizza... :)

This is really good but has WAY TOO MUCH salt content. Over 1,000 MG sodium! Next time I will omit the salt and make everything else the low sodium version.
