I used spicy Italian sausage and doubled the beans. This was really good. I will see if I can make it again when it starts to get cold again. It would be really good with noodles or rice too.

This is delish - but wouldn't call it chili -- no heat whatever. Changes I made was using the whole package of sweet Italian sausage but only 5 ounces of pepperoni. I also didn't have the whole amount of tomatoes - used one large can and 2 (12 ounce) cans of V-8 (instead of tomato juice) also added 1/2 can of chicken broth. Made as directed with these changes and used some cheese I had in the fridge. This makes a lot!!! Very good and leftovers will be great for lunches too! Thanks for sharing!

l would never think to add pepperoni to a chili recipe but it worked great and added great flavor, I used one pound of italian sausage meat and just let it simmer on the stovetop, this is great chili recipe I'll make again! thnks
