INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, cook the beef, sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat, stirring and breaking up the meat, until meat is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain if necessary.
2. Stir in the salsa, beans, pizza sauce, pepperoni, water, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat. Cover and let bubble gently, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve hot. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon cheese
3. Slow Cooker Option: After browning the meat and vegetables, drain and transfer to 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until heated through, 4 to 6 hours.
