Easy Instant Pot Chili

Easy Instant Pot Chili – Perfect comfort food for a fall or wintry evening. It’s also a great dish to feed a crowd, and alway a must for game day.

We love chili in our house. It’s one of those go to comfort foods that we could eat any night of the week.  It’s simple to make and we always have the ingredients in the pantry and fridge or freezer so we are always set to go!  When a get together or gathering like game day rolls around chili is always one of the first things to go. There are never any leftovers.

There are so many ways to make chili. Stove top, slow cooker, instant pot. We made this recipe in the instant pot.  Now stove top chili can simmer all day long and slow cooker chili can simmer all day long too. But in the instant pot you can have this chili cooked in less than an hour.

We love all kinds of chili.  We do prefer our chili with a slight kick. not so hot that you can’t taste what your eating but enough that your can feel the heat. but when making chili we always make it on the mild to medium side. You can always add a little heat to it yourself if you like. 

Do you like beans in your chili? “Chili Con Carne” does not have beans. It’s made with meat and peppers usually. We love it. It has a lot of really great flavor but then again there isn’t a chili we don’t love.  There are thick and hearty chili’s and soupier chili’s. I prefer a chili that is a little brothy and not super thick. But I will never turn a bowl of chili away as long as it has good flavor.
