Pepperoni Pizza Chili

This is another repeater at our house, but I haven't made it since I started my blog, so I just had to share it with all of you! It is super quick to throw together, unless you have a problem opening cans and delish!! I love a nice bowl of soup on a wintery day (or any day as my hubby will tell you!) So, simmer it up and enjoy!



Pepperoni Pizza Chili
(recipe found in Taste of Home magazine)

1 pound ground beef
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) italian stewed tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 package (3 1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni (I quartered mine)
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 teaspoon pizza seasoning or italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
shredded part skim mozzarella cheese, optional

In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, pizza sauce, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, pepperoni, green pepper, pizza seasoning and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes or until chili reaches desired thickness. Sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese if desired.
