Nothing better on a cold, windy day than a warm bowl of this chili and a slice of homemade bread. I like to make this the fast way, in my instant pot.
The steps are very simple. So many people are afraid of the instant pot until I expain to them how it really isn’t your great grandmas pressure cooker. It’s one of my most used appliances in my kitchen. You just need to get one and commit! It’s recipes like this one that make you a believer in the Instant pot. I hope you will try this delicious recipe and become a big fan of the instant pot and how it saves you so much time in the kitchen.
This chili also freezes well for up to 3 months.
