So chunky, hearty, and comforting! This will be the BEST chili you will have in your entire life – I PROMISE! And it is so stinking easy with such minimal effort with the help of your pressure cooker. Simply throw everything right in and let it do all the work for you! But guys, this is not your average Joe bowl of chili. Nope. It really isn’t. And with the help of your Instant Pot, this will be the best (and easiest) chili of your entire life. I know, it’s a loaded statement. But it’s true. The texture of the chili comes out so perfectly with the lean, tender, crumbled ground beef with all the black bean goodness. It’s chunky, it’s hearty, it’s cozy and it’s perfect to dunk your buttery buttermilk cornbread right in.
