Easy Instant Pot Chili Recipe

I’m absolutely in love with my Instant Pot. It’s a huge time saver and can make so many different meals in less than an hour. If you’re not familiar with the Instant Pot, it’s a pressure cooker that is a multi-cooker that’s electronically controlled. It’s nothing like your grandmother’s pressure cooker. It’s one of my must-have kitchen essentials.

Is this Instant Pot chili healthy?

Yes! Chili is one of my favorite Instant pot recipes to make because it is both hearty and low carb. I used Angus ground beef in mine because my husband prefers his chili with beef. But, you can always make yours with ground turkey if you prefer.

Try Instant Pot chicken chili by adding leftover cooked chicken a few minutes before it’s done. Or, try making it without meat and just add another can of beans.

What to serve your chili with

My husband wants his chili straight up as is in a bowl. He doesn’t add anything to it or need to be served over anything. But, I know some people enjoy this Instant Pot chili with noodles or over rice. If you’re trying to avoid grains, you can serve it over riced cauliflower.

I start this easy Instant Pot chili recipe with BUSH’S® Chili Beans because they are already simmered in their original chili sauces, made with a special blend of chilies, spices, garlic, and onions. Slowly simmered in chili sauces so the chili flavor is cooked into every bean – they give your chili a cooked-all-day flavor right out of the can. They are made just for chili and the flavor is absolutely delicious!
