Easy Instant Pot Chili recipe. This spicy dinner recipe is ready in under 15 minutes, which makes it the perfect meal for weeknights.
Finally busting out my Instant Pot today, after months of putting off actually learning how to use it.
I am taking this whole staying inside thing seriously, so I am going to learn how to use all of my kitchen appliances. Because if not now, when?
And now is the best time to be going through my canned foods to make something delicious.
What you need to make this Instant Pot Chili
This Instant Pot Chili is the perfect recipe to make with your pantry essentials. I have been going through the back of my cupboards trying to find something to cook with. Thank goodness my eyes are always bigger than my stomach when I go shopping for food. I had bought a lot of canned foods throughout the last couple of months to hopefully last me through this time.
Some essentials I always have on hand:
- canned beans
- canned tomatoes
- tomato sauce
And I am using it all in this chili.
It has been a while since I last made chili recipe.
The last Chili recipe I made on this blog was this Spicy Slow Cooker Chili recipe from 2016 with photos I am not proud of at all.
I guess with all this time on my hands, I can update all of my ugly blog photos!
So if you are lucky to find ground beef AND canned foods still in your local grocery store (or if you have some in your house. BONUS!) I would definitely recommend this Instant Pot Chili.
It has the perfect amount of spice, and it is so easy to make! I love it because I can be making it on the side while I bake a dessert in the oven. Multitasking is my forte, even though I have so much time on my hands these days!
Hope you are all staying safe, and have enough food in your house. Sending you all the love 💕.

Recipes like this is perfect for these crazy quarantine days. It needs mostly pantry staple ingredients, so I’m glad I can still prepare delicious and healthy food for my family.
