Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Chili Delight.
Step 1
Start by heating a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Crumble the ground beef into the pot and cook it until it’s beautifully browned, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
As the beef cooks, toss in the chopped onion and stir it all together, letting the savory aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 4
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease to keep your chili nice and hearty.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add a burst of flavor! Pour in the spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and water.
Step 6
Then, add the sliced mushrooms, pepperoni, beef bouillon, chili powder, and a touch of sugar to balance the flavors.
Step 7
Give everything a good stir to combine all those delicious ingredients.
Step 8
Bring the mixture to a lively boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
Step 9
This is where the magic happens—let it bubble away for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.
Step 10
As the chili simmers, the flavors will meld together beautifully, creating a comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing.
Step 11
When you’re ready to serve, ladle the chili into bowls and top it off with a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese.
