Notes
Tips and Techniques
- Grass fed beef gives this chili the best flavor.
- You can add some diced onion, peppers, or even diced tomatoes.
- A natural release just means that you will leave the Instant Pot undisturbed. A quick release is done by turning the valve to vent, then carefully opening the lid once all the steam has escaped.
- Store any leftover Instant Pot Smoky Beef Chili in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use with 3 days.
- You can freeze this chili in an air-tight container for up to 4-6 months, for best results.
