Multi-Cooker Bacon Cheeseburger Chili

So much delicious flavor.

I’m just going to leave this one with you.

But first.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact you can use the multi-cooker to brown ground beef and make the chili in the SAME POT. Seriously, it’s the little things like that this just make life in the kitchen a smidge more manageable 😉

Also, be sure to note how and when the shredded cheese and cream/whole milk are used in the recipe!

Enjoy!
