    A delicious bowl of chili with pinto beans, made in the Instant Pot!

    The Instant Pot has this magical way of infusing flavors so beautifully with the way it uses heat and pressure to cook the ingredients and melt them together. The flavors mingle and marry in such a perfect way and chili is one of my favorites from the Instant Pot. If you haven’t made chili in your Instant Pot yet – start with this recipe.

    Oh, and this is freezer friendly too – the perfect “Freezer to Instant Pot” recipe! (More on that here.)
