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

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

Loved it! Made it for a family gathering, and it was a big hit.

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.
