If I make this again I would leave out the pepperoni. The grease was so intense that it gave us all bad stomachaches. The flavor was good...but it wasn't worth it.

I made this recipe as written but when I tried it after 5 hours of slow cooking, I felt it needed more flavour. I added 1 cup of pureed tomatoes, 1 small clove of garlic, 1 tsp Italian herbs and then thickened it up with a few tbsps of tomato paste. Then I cooked it for the final hour and added the cheese right before serving. DH and I have been eating low carb for about 6 months now and it is great to have new recipes. Thanks for sharing this.

My son is on a low- carb & this was perfect for him. I did leave out the pepperoni & mushrooms. He served it on a low-carb tortilla shell.
