When I want to make chili fast, I use this product: http://countrystore.tabasco.com/index_category.cfm?tlcatid=2&catid=98. Its widely available in the South and you yankees can mail-order it. Beware - the spicey version really is.
Just add meat, tomatoes, and beans if you like. I always add some additional cumin and Mexene. Chili ready in about 30 minutes. Yum!
