Back in 2014 LIFE reported on their tasting of 11 canned chili’s. Only one was recommended, Hormel Cook-off Southwest Style. HERE.
You can make chili fast in a pressure cooker but you need a lot of ingredients. See the Chili Recipe with 65 ingredients HERE.
Or you can make it with maybe 8 or 10 ingredients but it takes about three hours or more to cook it, less in a pressure cooker but the recipe has to be modified for the pressure cooker.
Best bet is to just buy the damn stuff. Get about ten cans, dump them into a pot and heat the stuff. If you want to kick it up a notch, add some cooked ground beef or brown some pork chops, cut them into small cubes and dump ’em in. You can add cooked chicken breasts, or ham or whatever left over meat is in the fridge. Grate some carrots, add left-over string beans, cut into small pieces. Add some left-over wine and thicken it up with some water with cornstarch in it.
Get some great bread at Panera or some other place, maybe even some burgers from McDonalds or Burger King, spoon some chili onto the burgers, top it all with cheddar, sour cream, more hot sauce, grab some beer and watch the game without a lot of fuss. That’s my latest plan.
And I’m rooting for the Pats even though it’s OK by me if LA wins.
