Hi there! Apologies for the delay in responding – I’m out of the office on vacation this week. Hope it’s not too late to help you. I’ve never tested this chili recipe on the stovetop, to be able to specify exact timing, etc. But I’m sure that it can also work out fine. Good luck – and let me know how it goes! ~Shelley

Making this now. Just wondering if cooking it on the stove top is a option?

Congratulations on the win, Nate – I’m so, so happy this recipe was a winner for you, just as it has been at so many other chili cook off competitions! And I love the tip of adding chipotle powder for people who’d like to amp up the “zing” – thanks for sharing your great suggestion, and for the lovely feedback! 😀 ~Shelley

Made this for a chili cook off with an alternative category – it won, and rightfully so, it’s tasty. I made a batch and a half and for the half used sweet Italian pork sausage. I kept the pineapple out until the end, but sprinkled the pineapple with chipotle powder while it sat to give it a zing. People were surprised, it is delicious, will make again.

Hi, Steffany! I apologize I didn’t get a response out to you sooner – I was out of town at my daughter’s parents’ weekend with VERY spotty wifi. But yes – that’s the correct amount of tomatoes. I hope your cook-off went well and you loved this chili as much as we always do! 🙂 ~Shelley

56oz of the diced tomato? I’m making this for a cook-off tomorrow and wanna make sure I do it right. Super excited to try!

Hi, Sue! If you’d like a bit of heat, anyway, you could go for spicy (sometimes labeled “hot”) Italian turkey sausage. If you can find turkey breakfast sausage, you could try that, too, although the seasonings will be a bit different – taste the chili when it’s done and see if you’d like to stir in a little Italian seasoning. Lastly, you could try “regular” Italian sausage (pork), but this will almost always be notably higher in fat (and saturated fat) and calories than the turkey version. I hope that helps! ~Shelley

I cannot find sweet Italian turkey sausage near me. What would be the next best thing to substitute?

I was leery trying this recipe because I hadn’t ever heard of Pineapple Chili and not sure that it would taste good. But based on the favorable comments and rating, I decided to go ahead with it. It is delicious!! My family loved it. The combination of the sausage, pineapple, and other standard ingredients created a very favorable and unique chili. We put Fritos on it when serving. That added a “crunch” element. I’ll make this recipe again.
