Instant Pot Chili is an easy one pot dish. This recipe uses beef, beans, salsa and spices to give it a truly awesome taste – perfect for tailgating, serving at a bbq cookout, topping chili dogs or as frito pie!
I absolutely love today’s recipe. Instant Pot Chili is so easy and requires just a few ingredients.
I make a version in the slow cooker, but now with my Instant Pot, why would I cook something for 4-8 hours when I can have the same results in half an hour?
I love my Instant Pot, and if you’re on the fence about getting one you can get it here. I’ve never felt unsafe using it (though do not jump into it blindly; learn how to use it correctly). And while I don’t think it should be used for every dish on earth, generally anything you can make in a slow cooker can be made in a pressure cooker.
Like this chili! And some of my other favorites: Classic Mashed Potatoes, Charro Beans and Jalapeno Popper Mashed Potatoes.
This Instant Pot Chili is amazing on its own, but I love making things like chili dogs, frito pie, and chili cheese sweet potato fries (the sweet and spicy/savory goes with them so well).
So give it a shot and let me know what you think!
Until next time. X
