If you like pizza, chili and meat, Rach has the dish for you! As she puts it, "This one is kind of a mind-blower." She combines sausage, ground beef, 'nduja (or pepperoni or hot sopressata) and beans in a thick chili-spiced tomato sauce and serves it in bowls topped with LOTS of shredded cheese and herbs with charred bread (or baked pizza dough!) on the side. YUM!
For more easy and super-tasty spins on chili, check out this Crockpot White Chicken Chili and Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Chili, which can also be turned into a dip!
