I’ve had lots of requests for advice on converting my winter soups, stews and chilis to Instant Pot recipes. I only started hearing about the Instant Pot recently and figured it couldn’t be as wonderful as everyone claimed. Well, I finally broke down and got one, and it’s, like, the best thing since green smoothies!
So far, I have made several soups and chilis (My favorite things to eat in the winter.) and have worked on converting some of my favorite blog recipes to Instant Pot recipes.
I know it’s getting into late February now and you’re starting to think about springtime, but there’s always time for a great bowl of chili. Especially one that tastes so delicious and comes to together so quickly and easily as this Instant Pot Chili (Paleo and Whole30 Chili).
With only eight ingredients (+salt and pepper), it’s ridiculously easy to make. And you most likely already have these ingredients in your kitchen. Filled with meat and flavorful spices, it also gets a special kick from fire-roasted tomatoes.
They are my new love, especially now when I don’t have any garden-fresh tomatoes of my own, and the grocery store tomatoes taste like a watery mess.

Posted at 13:17h, 26 OctoberIm curious as to why the fat is not drained after browning the meat?
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 13:22h, 26 OctoberIf there is a lot left after you brown the meat and onions, go ahead and drain it. It really depends on the fat content of your meat. You don’t want your spices and tomato paste to burn though.

Posted at 22:38h, 07 JanuaryHi Kristi!
Do you know what the serving size is? I know it’s 8 servings. I am meal prepping for this week so I just wasn’t sure how to divide it.
Thanks!
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 01:59h, 08 JanuaryHello! I don’t know the exact size. I would just split it evenly 8 ways into different containers using a measuring cup until it’s all gone.

I keep getting the “burn” notice on my Instapot when I make this recipe. How can I fix this?
Thank you,
Lindsay

Posted at 17:53h, 04 FebruaryI have never had this happen before. Make sure the everything is mixed well so that the broth gets down to the bottom. You also might need to add a little more broth to it.

Posted at 13:02h, 13 OctoberExcited to try this! Can this be doubled? If so does anything need to be adjusted in the recipe?
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 16:23h, 14 OctoberDefinitely as long as it will fit on your Instant Pot. My Instant Pot recipes tend to be a little watery, so I’d put less liquid. I will double it and post an update. ☺️☺️

Posted at 00:01h, 23 JanuaryHi there. Thankyou for the recipe. I only had one can of tomato sauce so added the same amount of homemade tomato vege soup. It was delicious. We all had seconds. Thanks!

Posted at 16:05h, 27 AprilWe absolutely LOVE this chili recipe! We have made it 5 times now and it’s a great instant pot meal that satisfies and we have quick meals for days. I love to add some cheddar cheese and Siete tortilla chips but it’s also great over Trader Joes Cauliflower Gnocchi. Thanks!

Posted at 11:55h, 24 JuneI followed this as close as I could (with what I had on hand) and it turned out great! Probably never making a chili with beans ever again haha! I did smoked paprika instead of the chili powder, since I was out. Also added a small can of chopped jalapenos. Thanks for the recipe!
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 11:59h, 24 JuneSo glad you liked it! I feel the same way about beans in my chili. I can take them or leave them. My husband isn’t quite convinced yet. lol
