One of the BEST Ninja Foodi Recipes to add to your list of favorites is this Ninja Foodi Chili. This is so easy to make and a delicious, warm, and hearty chili to enjoy this fall and winter.
How do you make chili in the Ninja Foodi?
First, you will use the saute function of the Ninja Foodi to brown the ground beef and onions, once this is fully cooked, it’s time to add in the rest of the ingredients.
Once all the ingredients are in the pot of the Ninja Foodi, the pressure cooker function will be used for just FOUR minutes, after that short time, chili will be ready to serve!
That means this recipe really only takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the time of pressure building in the Ninja Foodi. This is certainly a go-to for our family during the winter months.
I actually prefer this method over the slow cooker or stove because it is so quick and it never fails that I forget to get the slow cooker ready in the morning. Surely I’m not the only one, right?
Also that quick little tip, you can make this in the Instant Pot too, either way, it’s up to you.
What do you need for this recipe?
- Olive Oil
- Ground Beef
- White Onion
- Beef Broth
- Chili Beans
- Kidney Beans
- Diced Tomatoes
- Garlic
- Chili Powder
- Ketchup
That’s all you need, we keep the beans and tomatoes on hand all throughout the winter months because you just never know when you get the craving for chili, then it’s easy to make dinner from that point.
I prefer to serve it with homemade cornbread, but my husband loves chili with corn chips.

Comments & Reviews
Do you use dry beans for this or canned?
I use canned, updating the recipe to clarify too. Thank you for asking!
Do you drain the cans of chili beans, kidney beans and diced tomato?
Thank you,
Dori
I normally do not, but you can and it won’t affect it so either way will work.
Can I use this recipe but add a packet of Ranch and a can Shoepeg corn and a can of Rotel or tomatoe with green chilies to make it more like the Sante Fe Chili/Soup?
Yes, that should work just fine. I would swap diced tomatoes for the rotel or chilies.
