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.

Recipe Instructions
Step 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.
Step 2
Pour in spaghetti sauce, tomatoes, beans, water, mushrooms, pepperoni, bouillon, chili powder, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Garnish bowls of chili with Cheddar cheese to serve.
