Sometimes you just need to get dinner onto the table fast, and this 15 Minute Chili recipe is perfect for those occasions. It’s not going to win you any ribbons at the state fair, but I would choose this chili over the fast food drive through any day of the week.

This recipe uses some shortcut ingredients like canned diced tomatoes with green peppers, celery and onions so you don’t have to do any chopping. If you happen to have a few extra minutes to dice some pepper and onions, go for it.

I love the convenience of slow cooker recipes, but I don’t always plan my meals in advance. This 15 minute chili is perfect for those occasions. You could even add some cooked elbow noodles to this chili to make a simple chili mac!
