Instant Pot Chili Con Carne

Instant Pot Chili Con Carne, there is nothing better on a cold night, than a bowl of hot Instant Pot Chili Con Carne. With chunks of beef, kidney beans, onions, tomatoes, and a hint of chocolate on top. It’s the ultimate comfort food.

I love a great bowl of chili. I mean, it’s a one-pot meal, and with the Instant Pot, there is hardly any cleanup. Wash the Instant Pot Bowl, and you are done.

Everyone has a different chili recipe. I grew up with this one, so I just changed a few things out so the recipe would work in the Instant Pot. This brings me back to my childhood, where my mother would have a hot pot on the stove simmer on those cold New England Winters.

Tips For Instant Pot Chili Con Carne:

• I sear the sides of my roast, which I feel gives it a great flavor, with hardly any effort. The meat is then really flavorful.
• If you do not like kidney beans, switch them up for pinto beans, or any other beans that you love, some great options are black beans or red beans.
• If you like a spicy chili add some hot sauce or serve the hot sauce with the chili.
