So many chili lovers believe, and with good reason, that the best chili recipes are those that simmer ingredients gently and slowly for hours. And there’s a lot of truth to that fact, and a lot of delicious chili that results from such approaches.
But let’s be realistic! Sometimes, you just want a great-tasting bowl of homemade chili a little bit faster. When you do, give the following recipe a try. Made with bacon for a touch of smoky richness, ground beef for robust flavor, canned kidney beans (for folks who love their chili with beans), and generous doses of classic chili seasonings, it’s full of satisfaction. Yet it’s ready to serve, start to finish, in well under an hour.

Lower-fat option: If you’d like a version of this recipe that yields a lower-fat chili, try substituting lean Canadian bacon or turkey bacon for the regularly streaky bacon and ground turkey for the ground beef, and reduce the oil by half. Serve with reduced-fat cheese and nondairy sour cream substitute.
