Recipe type: Slow Cooker
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Johnsonville Italian Sausage
  • ½ large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15-oz. pizza sauce
  • 15-oz. tomato sauce
  • 15-oz. chili beans
  • 15-oz. can kidney beans
  • 15-oz. can Italian diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 ½ oz. sliced pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • mozzarella cheese to garnish each serving
Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add Johnsonville Italian sausage and brown.
  2. When sausage is browned, remove from skillet. Place sausage in slow cooker.
  3. In the same pan that you cooked the sausage, saute the onion. Use the pan drippings to cook the onion until translucent; about 5 minutes.
  4. Add onion to slow cooker.
  5. Add garlic, pizza sauce, tomato sauce, chili beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, pepperoni and chili powder to slow cooker. Mix well.
  6. Cook in slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours.
  7. Before serving, add mozzarella cheese.
Notes
* If you don't have chili beans, add black beans.
* The pepperoni and chili beans make the chili spicier. I didn't add as much chili powder as I normally do because of this. Adjust the chili powder to your liking.
