I love a piping hot bowl of chili with toppings galore on a cold day. Making chili in your Instant Pot takes less than 30 minutes but tastes like it has been slow cooking all day. You can make chili in your Instant Pot for a quick meal, all while being liberated from your kitchen as your pot cooks the chili for you!

How to Adapt an Instant Pot Chili Recipe for a Slow Cooker.

Many Instant Recipes instruct you to saute the onion, garlic,  and ground beef or chicken before adding the remaining ingredients and pressing them.   If you want to make chili recipes in your slow cooker, you will want to saute those ingredients on your stove and add them with your ingredients to simmer them.

Basic Instructions on how to cook chili in your Instant Pot 

1. Set your Instant Pot to the saute setting. Add oil, aromatics, and spices. Stir until the onions/garlic are transparent.

2. Add Meat and Brown, but don’t cook the meat all the way through.

4. Close and secure your Instant Pot lid.

5. Flip your pressure release valve to.” sealing.”
