Instant Pot Blue Ribbon Chili

Ah, Chili.

This dish is essentially a hearty ground beef stew that has hints of southwestern flair to it while remaining completely subjective based on the geography in which its created (beans vs. no beans; spicy vs. mild and so on). So, basically, there is no right (or wrong) way to make this classic Americana dish.

That said, there's Chili...and then there's CHILI.

This here Chili is going to satisfy ANY Chili lover - guaranteed. Why? Because I load it up with some of the simplest and tastiest ingredients that packs a classic and premium flavor punch so rewarding, you'd better clear the mantle for that office Chili cook-off trophy to show off!

I've never made chili in my entire life and I literally just won my company's chili cook off going off of your recipe. It wasn't beginner's luck, it was pressure luck's recipe 😉

Thanks for the outstanding chili recipe. I've made it twice. The second time I entered our neighborhood chili cook-off in The Villages, FL. With more than 300 people present I won people's choice. There were 12 entrants. For everyone who requested the recipe I steered them to your YouTube site. Thanks again!

Made your chili today, my 94 year old Dad approved. So this is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

Because of yr videos people think I'm an alcoholic now. You showed me how to cook with wine and I now have several different types of wines on a shelf. I made Mulligan stew last night and threw in some merlot. I had no idea wine could take a dish and turn it into something super special. Thank you for broadening my horizons. 😍

I've made this chili about 15 times. I don't sweat tbe exact measurements but now use it as a guideline for every batch I make. Always comes out a little different, according to my tastes at tbe time. Never has disappointed! Good job!

I'm not a chili person, I made it for my husband, gave it a taste and absolutely loved it. It was a big hit with the family.

I have only one complaint! I'm so disappointed! I snapped my finger over my onion for like 3 minutes and nothing happened! It's still sitting on the counter! ☹️

[korfster]

I just made this for my husband and it was a huge success! It is amazing! He told me that I need to make all of your recipies. I opted out of the spicer version so that I can give it to my young son, but it still has just enough spice with out the habanero. Thank you so much for all your hard work! All of us working parents appreciate you

Did not think i needed help with chili, husband said the best ever. 45 + years of making chili and he said the best ever. Did not have all the ingredients but did have hoison, better than - chili base, put in at the end (the game changer). Been watching for over 2 yrs now, thanks jeffery, second day was even better.

Amazing recipe! It only took 30 minutes from beginning to end. It tasted fabulous. Everyone in the family loved it and we doubled the recipe, so we have more for tomorrow. Thanks!

I am 52 and have never made chili, , , eaten plenty but never made until now. This recipe is fantastic! I'm so glad I ordered the BTB Chili as that indeed made it 100x better. I tasted the chili before adding it and it was good but Thank you for all your great IP recipes!!

[terrycotton]

I have owned my instant pot for a little over 3 weeks and it is amazing. I went shopping got all the ingredients except the 1 habanero pepper which i will be adding next time. This was a very good recipe. Thank you

[rmbruk]

I've made this chili several times. Awesome recipe! Substituted half the ground beef for chopped beef stew meat. So good!

[carolrichardson]

Jeff, I made your chili recipe substituting ground beef for smoked roast ( 3 hrs ) then Sous vide it for 24 hrs. I shredded the meat, added same spices as you & real kidney beans. Took it our church chili cook off & I won 1st place in about 15 different types of chili. So thank your recipe 👍

I had originally planned to make this for family on our beach trip this past week. I Brought down my one pot and all of the ingredients but I never got the opportunity. I ended up having to throw out the meat I bought.
When I got back home tonight, I bought more meat and made this for them first time. I didn’t use them oregano or the sauce in the green container. I also could not find taco sauce so I substituted taco seasoning. I did order the better than bouillon chili and left out the habaniero pepper.
It was done quick and it tasted perfect! It is the best meal I have cooked in my one pot so far.

Dude, I made this recipe without finishing the video and it was great. Then I finished the video and saw the chili base and yelled "WHAT?!" loud enough to scare my wife.

Was making this in my pressure cooker and it smelled so good. I like using the base of this recipe to make it my own, and will never go back to how l used to make chili. Although Hoisin Sauce and beer are not used for the liquid, l season my ground beef like taco meat, and use some of the juice to throw in the pot. Also chopped celery and bell peppers are added, along with onions, and a diced jalapeño pepper. A day in advance l like to clean some pinto beans to cook on the stove, and use them with the can of kidney beans, Rotel, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Finally, l check the flavor to determine if pepper, garlic, cumin, Italian seasoning, or chili powder is needed. Since my meat and pinto beans are seasoned, l use a couple of chicken bouillon cubes, and steer clear of adding salt. I’m glad l came across this recipe because my family has fallen in love with it.

I made my first batch yesterday with a few substitutions: ground turkey, 3 anaheims instead of poblanos, ditched the jalapeno and habinero and substituted a big glob of the Chili Better Than added 3 tbls at it came out GREAT! You have turned me on to Better Than Bullion products and they should reward you!

[manowar]

Knockout recipe, my friend. I substituted 2 tbsp of Better than Bouillon "Smoky Chipotle" at the end and used a thick Mandarin Teriyaki sauce instead of Hoisin sauce. I also substituted kidney beans with chili pinto beans. This chili rocks.

I'm super late to the instant pot and I'm very late to this channel, but I have been binging his videos. I love him lol
