How to Cook Chili Fast

Chili is often slow-cooked to deepen the flavor, but if you’re in a hurry, you can cook chili fast in an Instant Pot, on the stove, or in the oven. An Instant Pot will produce the quickest results, taking as little as 20 minutes to produce a delicious and filling meal. Stove-top chilies can be ready in 40 minutes, and making chili in the oven takes about the same amount of time. Of course, if you’re really impatient, you could also heat up a can of pre-made chili. But if you’re prone to sudden chili cravings, it’s a better idea to make a batch, portion it out, and put it in the freezer so you always have some at your fingertips.
