Chili (Instant Pot, Pressure Cooked)

Nothing warms the soul on a cold day like a bowl of chili with a side of cornbread. It is hearty, but still healthy and since it is naturally gluten and dairy free it is always a crowd pleaser. This is perfect for serving guests, or if you need a potluck dish. You can easily double the recipe. I love making this instant pot chili, but you can easily slow cook it, or cook on the stove.

You can make this chili on the stove top, I have done it both ways. However, I really love the flavor the Instant Pot give this. The Instant Pot allows you to have the flavor of a slow cooked chili, but in reality it take 30 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot . Prep is super fast too. Start to finish this is easily ready in less than an hour, but it tastes like you have been in the kitchen all day.

How do I make this Instant Pot Chili?

It’s so easy you are going to love this!

1. Start by adding some oil to your instant pot and setting it to sauté mode.
2. Add the onions and garlic and cook for about 45 seconds.
3. Add the meat and begin to brown.
4. Add all of the spices and once the meat is browned turn the sauté mode off.
5. Add the beans, tomatoes, and tomato sauce.
6. Cook on Chili mode.

While it is cooking you can make the cornbread. You can also double this recipe (it won’t fit in a 6qt. instant pot though) and freeze it for easy dinners! The cornbread freezes well too! That is it. Enjoy!
