Tis the season for all things chili.  Who doesn’t love the idea of snuggling up on the couch, with a nice steaming bowl of chili?  Sounds like the perfect end to a super long winter.  If you are anything like me, your love of chili is widespread.  Who knew there were so many great chili recipes out there, and now they can be cooked in no time at all when you try these Instant Pot chili recipes!!  Chicken chili, spicy chili, meatless chili, no bean chili…all waiting to be tried, all yummy and wonderful.  Trust me, these taste buds love each and every one of them.

Now, take it up a notch and wrap your mind around all these awesome chili recipes being cooked in an Instant Pot (this is the one I have).  Amazing, right?  If you’ve never heard of the Instant Pot, you are missing out. It’s really become quite popular this year for several different reasons.  First, it lowers the cooking time on items by almost 70%.  Seriously.  That’s a ton of time savings.  Think what you could accomplish during your time you are supposed to be cooking away on an extravagant chili dinner just by dumping it all in your instant pot and walking away?  You could have 70% more time to read a book, clean up your kitchen, take a walk…all because your Instant Pot rocks.  Not only does it save a ton of cooking time, but it eliminates any smells that may come from your cooked food.  Love cooking chili but don’t want to smell it for the next several days?  No fear, it’s not an issue with the Instant Pot.
