Instant Pot Spicy Chili

This Instant Pot Spicy Chili can also be made in a slow cooker, depending on the cook time you need. Keep this recipe on hand for those chilly days (pun definitely intended), when you need something to warm you up. We love how this chili requires minimal effort, yet produces one of the best meals you’ll have all fall. Make it for the kids using Original sauce and seasoning (it’s less spicy that way).
