Store Bought VS Homemade Pizza Crust

If you have a favorite homemade pizza crust you enjoy, go right ahead and whip it up. We reached for the Wewalka classic pizza crust that you can find in the refrigerator sections.

It taste similar to homemade and you roll it out and shape. This is why it takes under 30 minutes to make this pizza. Quick and easy when you use store bought.

Chili To Use On Chili Cheese Pizza

You can easily use canned chili. Or save back leftover chili from the night before. This is a fantastic leftover chili recipe!

The leftover chili will thicken, and then it is easy to spread on the pizza crust. But Hormel canned chili does work just as good.

It just depends on the flavor you want from your chili. Personally, homemade taste best.

Storing Leftover Chili Fry Pizza

If you have any leftovers, just place in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Then when you want to reheat, toss it back in the oven for a reheat.

We did 350 degrees and heated for around 5 minutes and then just checked until the pizza was warm enough. You can also reheat in the microwave.

It will sog up the pizza crust a bit though if reheated in the microwave.

Desserts To Pair With Pizza

Ingredients

Makes 1 pizza

  • 1 pizza dough, I used Wewalka Classic Pizza Dough
  • 2 1/2 cups chili, canned or leftover homemade chili
  • 2 cups cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup cooked seasoned french fries
  • Toppings: Jalapeno slices, green onions, etc

Method

  1. Start by cooking your seasoned french fries. We just baked ours in the oven. You can do an air fryer or a deep fryer if you prefer.
  2. While fries are cooking, spread out your pizza crust on a baking stone or pizza pan.
  3. Now spread almost all the chili on the raw pizza crust. Leave an edge to act as the crust edge.
  4. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on the chili, followed by piling on cooked french fries. Add as many as you want.
  5. Then with the leftover chili we added a few more spots, and then added the rest of the cheese.
  6. Bake in the oven at 425 degrees and cook for 5-10 minutes or until your pizza crust is done and your cheese is melted.
  7. Once done, pile on toppings if you want. We did jalapenos and green onions.
