Uh-oh guess who got an pressure cooker?! That’s right ME. I’ve been hearing about Instant Pots for a while now. You know Crock-Pot is a brand of slow cookers? What intrigued me about pressure cooker is that most of my slow cooker recipes can be made in it without making any changes. This is one of those recipes. It can be made in either so I’m providing instructions on both.

It was no-brainer for me to make chili for my first Instant Pot recipe. I love chili; mainly because it’s pretty hard to mess up. I’ve been thinking about this chili recipe for some time now. I’m slowly working on ‘chili’s from around the world (remember my Indian Chili) since I love chili so much so and a Mexican version has been at the top of my list. Both the carne asada and chorizo need to be browned first. This is a recommended step for both the PC & SC.

After that, just throw everything in, stir, and let it cook.

    I have an Instant Pot. It has a slow Cook button on it. So, I sautéed my beef, onion and garlic. Then, mixed all my ingredients on Sate’ in my Instant Pot then I turned Saute’ off. I put the lid on, then turned on my Slow Cook. I’m cooking it for 5 hours on the Slow Cook. I hope I can do this as a slow cooker. Can I? Please let me know. It does not say anything about the slow cook button in the manual. Thank you, Linda B.

      Yes you make this in your instant pot using the slow cooker function. 5 hours should be enough time. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions. Enjoy!

    Chili is always a winner in my household! I think my son and husband would eat it daily if they could!
