This Italian-style chili is an easy-to-make departure from your typical chili. The recipe calls for pepperoni, mushrooms, and a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce. I am asked for the recipe every time I make it.

Directions

  1. Crumble ground beef into a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until beef is evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
