Chili cheese pizza is my new favorite pizza! If you’ve never considered taking chili out of the bowl, start by making this pizza recipe. It’s unbelievably delicious!

I admit I went into it with zero expectations and a whole lot of pessimism. But it worked, and oh man was it good!

How to make the perfect chili cheese pizza

You have to try this. It’s just so easy!

Brush a thin layer of hot chili oil over the whole ready-made crust.

Then spread the canned chili over the crust.

And finally, sprinkle on the chopped jalapenos and onions.

Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.

Ingredient additions and substitutions

Try different kinds of chili: without beans, with tomatoes, with meat, etc. Anything would work. You could even use leftover homemade chili.

For a little less spice, substitute green peppers instead of jalapenos.

Instead of Mexican cheese, try shredded Colby Jack or pizza cheese blend.

There won’t be any leftovers. It’s unbelievably good!

Never in a million years would I have thought chili and pizza could mingle so beautifully, but oh my gosh… I’m hooked now. This is delicious!
