Dad’s Spicy Instant Pot Chili

So, we are currently living in San Diego, CA.– let me know you… it got HOT this last few weeks. San Diego hot, but STILL hot.

It ALSO happened to be Mother’s Day weekend (in the US) and I MIIIIIIIGHT have mentioned that I was craving chili. So…. heat be damned… Dave made chili!

You may or may not know me, but here is a little post-pregnancy secret about me. I CONSTANTLY CRAVE EVERYTHING THAT IS SPICY. Dave adapted this receipt for me. If you don’t like spice, just leave that delicious chipotle pepper out, I promise, this will still be amazing.

So, without further ado, the most amazing video on YouTube right now:

Note: You may get a Burn Notice on your Instant Pot before it seals and starts counting down. No Big Deal, it happens.

It will seal right up and cook like nothing ever happened and your Chili will kick ass.
