Oh, yes we did! We developed perhaps the greatest leftover meal possible. Chili. Pizza. Yes! Our fridge was full of leftover chili from a party last week. What we typically do with leftover chili is grab some delicious hotdogs and go to town. However, this time we decided to think outside the bun and get a little creative! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Pizza dough (we recommend Pioneer Woman’s)
2 cups of leftover Webster Whopping Chili
6 oz. of your favorite cheese
Preparation:
Prepare dough according to directions and place on a pizza stone. Preheat oven to 500° (if using PW’s dough) or however hot your specific dough recipe suggests. Spread an even layer of chili around the crust, leaving about 1″ of room for the crust. If you are using a thicker chili (such as the Webster Whopping), this will work fine. If your chili is a bit more thin or watery, be sure to add more room around the edge for liquids to escape and perhaps put a pan on a lower rack of the oven to catch any drips.
Top with a layer of cheese and other usual pizza toppings (onion, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, etc.). Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown. Finish with chopped onion, cilantro, sour cream, and more. The sky is the limit.
Fat free. Just kidding.

Chili pizza? Holy mackerel! Yum!!! That’s what I have to say about that.
Valerie, it’s a dream come true! Enjoy. Just eat one piece with a salad and you won’t feel TOO guilty 🙂
This looks amazing. I thought the best thing ever was taco pizza but chili pizza may have surpassed it.
Hey Andrea, it is out-of-control delicious!! Enjoy!
