I adore adore adore the way that the Instant Pot infuses flavor, in general. And with chilis, it takes the flavor to the next level.
NEXT. LEVEL. CHILI.
If you have an Instant Pot and you haven’t used it yet, start with this.
Also, if you’re into freezer meals and “freezer to Instant Pot meals” intrigue you, start with this.
And if you keep hearing about the Instant Pot and you are wanting to get one or add one to your wishlist, this is the one that I recommend.
And of course, my Electric Pressure Cooking 101 class will set you up for big success with your Instant Pot Cooking!
