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... :)

I love this recipe and have been making it since I first saw it in the Taste of Home magazine in April 2001.

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.

My family and I love pepperoni pizza chili. We fix it often. Even my two boys love it!

This is our second favorite soup to make. Our first is the Pronto Taco Soup on this site. They are both yummy!!! We use the mini pepperoni in it, but I like the flavor more with the larger pepperoni cut up. Even my oldest son liked it and that's saying a lot!

I made this last night and loved it. Not at all like typical chili recipes it really does taste like pizza in a bowl. I served it with Texas toast.

This has been a favorite at our house for years. I like to have breadsticks with it.

This is one of the best chili recipes that I have ever tried My husband and I do not like "hot" chili. So this is really a change of pace from the norm.
