While multicookers can't replace every tool in the kitchen, they sure are coming close. We've found that certain classic recipes take less time to make, but taste just as delicious when made in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot. Chili con carne is one of those dishes. This recipe finishes cooking in less than 30 minutes but tastes like it was simmered all day long. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
