This darn good chili recipe is not only crazy tasty, it’s amazingly simple to make and is always a fan favorite! The only time the Instant Pot isn’t perfectly quiet is when the lid opens and closes (happy little notes), it beeps to let me know it has started and finished, if you are sauteing something (which goes really quickly because it can get so hot), and if you do a quick release of pressure rather than a natural release at the end of cooking.
I would just skip the fat.) Add one 14 oz can of Libby’s Kidney Beans,1 and 3/4 cups Libby’s Tomatoes,(Libby’s might disagree…but I’m pretty sure you can use any kind of beans…or tomatoes, for that matter.) 1 to 2 tablespoons of chili powder,1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
Bison is one of those meats people talk about eating a lot more than they actually eat it, usually because they don’t know what to do with it.
