Blue Ribbon Instant Pot Chili Recipe - A Mom's Impression (2024)

Is this 702 cals per serving?

It was a good…very basic recipe. It turned out a little bland and a little more watery than I like. Its a good recipe for beginers or those with minimal ingredients. It did the trick but would be better with some added heat.

This was amazing I added taco seasoning a jalapeño and one can of pinto beans I thought it was perfect thank you for an amazing easy recipe

You don’t drain beef fat after the sautee and before adding in other ingredients?

I need to like triple this receipe, would the cook time still be the same?

As someone who is new to the IP i liked the simplicity of this recipe. I also like the size b/c there are only 2 of us so it’s nice it doesn’t make enough for an army.

Made this tonight and it was very salty and I like salty foods.

Made this tonight and was great! My husband and I both enjoyed it just the was it was. Thank you!

This recipe set me up perfectly to make my 1st pot of chilli! It made 6 servings for me. I did add cumin to mine and used herb infused diced tomatoes…sub ground chicken and chicken broth! But it was delicious!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Excellent! I made it exactly like the recipe but doubled it. It was perfect. I’ve been making chili in my instant pot for years… why did I never think to pressure cook it!? I’ve always just kept it on the saute setting. This was so much easier and faster. Thank you!

Great texture, flavor that awaken the taste buds. By far the best chili recipe that I have cooked yet. Thank you for sharing, My husband enjoyed it and has asked me to cook it again.

I really enjoyed this (and it was easy). Thank you for sharing this recipe!

If I added potatoes (maybe two cut to 1″ cubes), would I add a minute or two to the cook time?

This is a good recipe but I added a packet of chili seasoning to the ground beef while sautéing the beef. You can find the packets in the same aisle at the grocery store it’s usually features with the cans of beans, and it was much better tasting with that!

Can you use dried beans ?

This is my new go-to recipe for chili! I used to make it with Lawry’s chili seasoning (for years!) but this is definitely my new favorite! And my 4 kids like it too!!! 🙂 I use a little less chili seasoning since we can’t handle the spice (haha!), but it’s perfect! Thank you!

Love the recipe, I just need to cut the chili powder in half . I have little ones that might not eat it due to the spicy taste. I tasted great to me. I didn’t have beef both so I substituted it with vegetable both. Still delicious .

Made this the other night, super yummy

It was a good base recipe. But it was too soupy for my taste. I did a cornstarch slurry at the end and added a decent amount more of all the spices except the oregano.

I enjoyed reading your recipe, it is a bit like mine used to be ,but I kept having to add more heat. I use at least double the amount of beans (I like a variety of beans in my chili). I also switched from using plain canned tomatoes to adding a jar of salsa. I am a canner so I can my own beans but they still have the same taste as store bought just a bit healthier.

Very good

Can this dish be made in a crockpot or stovetop?

Great recipe as is. I did add a teaspoon of cumin (personal preference). I prefer a little thicker chili, so I added a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste. I love making chili in my IP. So fast and tastes like it simmered for hours! Thanks

Husband and I loved it! Tasty and easy to make! Winning recipe for sure!

I made a double batch of this, but used black beans instead of kidney beans and added 1/2 more of the spices than what is called for on a single batch and it was a hit! Thanks for helping me use some dried black beans that have been in my pantry for too long!

I made this with ground turkey and I just love it! I added a few more spices, some random hot peppers, and a slurry for a thicker chili and I’m eating it with fritos scoops. Yum!

How much is a serving? 1 cup?

I made this recipe too many times to count. I love it! Sometimes I use ground elk and it’s soooo good. I don’t like tomatos so I use tomato paste with water.

I made my chili beans first in the instant pot, using the spices for the chili and the beef broth also using kidney beans, black beans and chickpeas so the flavor of the chili went into the beans too and it was fantastic since they were cooked already I added them after I cook the meat for five minutes in the instant pot and for the tomatoes, I use cherry tomatoes, so I just cut them in half and added them when it was all cooked add an extra garlic. The spices were fine since I had made my beans with them so all the flavor were in those I did slice a jalapeño and a few pieces of onion for garnish a very very good recipe of chili. Thank you very much.

This has been my go-to recipe for a few years, however we are going camping and I was wondering how long I should cook it when using a stove and pot. Thanks !

Very good! I added 1/2 jalapeno to.
