As soon as we have that first cool autumn day, I immediately start craving soups, stews, and chilies. There’s something just as cozy about digging into a big comfort bowl as this Ninja Foodi chili!
If you ask me, it’s the best way to warm up on a cold day.
And thanks to the Ninja Foodi, it’s also very easy to make! You’ll sauté the ground beef directly into the Ninja Foodi pot, add the rest of the ingredients, and then let it pressure cook to perfection.
It couldn’t be simpler!

Can I use ground turkey in this Ninja Foodi chili recipe?
Sure! You can use any type of ground beef you like. Some other options would be ground chicken, ground pork, chorizo or a mix of your favorites.
Whichever meat you choose, just make sure it’s completely browned during the stir-fry process. On top of that, everything else about the recipe will remain the same.
Can I use an instant pot to make this recipe instead?
Sure! You can follow this recipe exactly to make Instant Pot chili.
Both use the stir-fry and pressure cooker features and I’ve found this chili recipe to cook great in both Ninja Foodi and Instant Pot.
Can I freeze the leftover chili?
The chili will keep very well in the freezer. It’s very nice to have on hand when you want something tasty but just don’t feel like cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container, then store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, for shorter storage, you can keep your leftovers in the refrigerator for about 3 days.

How to Make Ninja Foodi Chili spicier or softer
The combination of chili powder, black pepper, garlic and jalapeno adds only a small touch of weight. However, if you prefer a very mild chili, you can reduce the chili powder and replace the jalapeno with bell pepper.
On the other hand, if you love your hot chili, consider adding some hot sauce to the mix. Ground cayenne pepper would also give you a little extra heat
!
Also, remember that the membranes inside jalapeño peppers are what make them spicy. Keep the membranes or remove them as best you can depending on how hot you like your chili!
Can I cook this recipe in a cooking pot slow?
Sure! This process can be easily modified for slow cook chili.
The only difference is that ground beef will have to be cooked in a pan first.
Once golden and drained, add all the ingredients to a slow cooker, then simmer for 6 to 8 hours or over high heat for 2-3 hours.
