With the wind blowing, leaves turning color (although drably), the endless drop of acorns, and the cool temps, nothing beats chili for supper on a night like today. There are endless versions of chili…ones with ground beef, with beans or without, with pasta or not, white chilis (think chicken), vegetarian and probably many more. Today I bring you a chili with a different twist yet.
Adapted from my Taste of Home’s 2007 Contest Winning cookbook, this chili is reminiscent of Italian foods using Italian sausage, spaghetti sauce, and pepperoni to name just a few ingredients. This will warm you up from the inside out and will be a hit with kid and adult alike.

My husband is a pepperoni lover, and I am definitely going to have to try this!

Mmm.. looks delicious! Just have to be careful… some pepperoni has gluten in it.
Yes, reading labels is super important!
