{ COOKING VIDEO }
Well, I’m officially obsessed with my Instant Pot. I got mine about 2 months ago but have been putting off trying it out. New appliances intimidate me, especially ones with long manuals. But I put my big girl pants on and finally tried it out and I GET IT! I get why people are so obsessed with it! This chili recipe I’m sharing with you guys today is actually a recipe from back in the day! But after making it in the pressure cooker, I will never make it any other way. This tasted SO.MUCH.BETTER! And now I’m not AS scared of using my Instant Pot. Still slightly scared. But it’s so worth the fright because holy moly, it makes delicious food. I can’t wait to make more in my IP!
Ok, let’s talk about what’s important here – The Bachelor. I absolutely cannot wait for this season. I can’t wait to see what all the crying is about later on in the season. Man crying is the best. But wait, you know how all the past bachelors gave him advice? Why is Chris giving him advice? Didn’t his engagement to Whitney fail? Come on, Chris, don’t be silly. I also wish that instead of Ben and Lauren having their own tv show, it was Kaitlyn and Shawn. Who cares about Ben and Lauren? Answer, no one. No offense to them, I’m sure they are great human beings, but Shawn and Kaitlyn and their Rick & Donna on snapchat give me life. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go follow them. They are the best.
Ok, back to the best drama of the night. Corinne. The one who lives with her parents and has a nanny. And who ABC decided would be the ho-fo-sho of the show. How do you think they decide that? Do you think they interview until they find THAT one? The one that fits the mold. I can’t wait to see how that goes down. And what do you think about the girl who has already slept with Nick but showed back up on the show? Imagine that. Imagine that you had a lovely night with a person, but decided you didn’t want him to have your number, then you just started showing up on his dates, like, hiiiiiiiiiii. Do you think the producers planned this one? It’s so hard to guess what they planned and what the women decided to take on themselves as rightful embarrassment. Hard to know.
The only person I’m really into is Vanessa – the special education teacher. She had the best dress and earrings of the night and she seems like a pretty sane human being. Plus, she looks like Andy (the past bachelorette that dumped Nick) and obviously Nick is down for that.
And Raven from Hoxie looks like a dolled up version of Wednesday Addams. I wonder if she knows that. She needs to take on that roll for Halloween at some point.
Ok, I have to go shovel myself out of our house and I’m not happy about it. This 4 degree weather is not my friend. I need these trips to warmer weather to be here sooner!
Instant Pot Remake – Smoky Bacon Chili
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon, cubed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 (14 ounce) can of fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
For garnish
- 1/4 cup of coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Place bacon in the basin of your instant pot then press the saute button and cooking until bacon is crispy. Remove bacon and leave behind bacon fat (I left it all but you don’t have to, you could just leave behind 2 tablespoons in you prefer). Then add garlic cloves, onion, and peppers and saute for 5 minutes.
- Lastly, add all the rest of the ingredients and mix to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes then add the bacon back to the instant pot and mix to combine.
- Press the keep warm/cancel button then secure the lid, close off the pressure valve then press the Bean/Chili button. This will cook for 30 minutes. Once the chili is done cooking, you can let it naturally release or do a quick release then stir together.
- Mix together coconut cream and ranch dressing then plop a scoop on the chili and garnish with fresh cilantro!

Juli – I love that you are starting to use the Instant Pot. I too am still kind of afraid of mine, but I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I agree that Kaitlyn and Shawn should have their own show. They’re my favorite, especially on Snapchat! I’m going to CityStrong with them this Sunday in CT. I’m looking forward to getting a great workout and meeting them in real life.
funnnnn!! they are seriously so cute
I don’t have an Instant Pot used my Copper Chef. It was delish., also added water chestnuts.
Yeah! First IP recipe and it looks like a good one. Told you that you would fall in love with the IP.
Hi Juli!! I don’t have an instant pot, could I make this in the slow cooker or should I just cook it on the stove top? Thank you! Love everything about you! Your cookbooks (have two of them), your blog and you pr snaps ????????
https://paleomg.com/smoky-bacon-chili/ if you refer to her original post its not made with the IP. 🙂
Nothing to do with this recipe- started a new podcast called Missing & Murdered: Who killed Alberta Williams. Right up your ally.
just subscribed! thanks for the recommendation!
hey girl haay. love your shit.
One tiny suggestion (maybe im just ocd) — on your podcast post can you switch your title around? Ex.: EPISODE 15: MY FAVORITE THINGS RIGHT NOW – PALEOMG UNCENSORED PODCAST.
When I go listen on itunes, I like to see the episode topic and itunes cuts all your titles off at “PALEOMG UNCENSORED PODCAST Epsiode…” for some reason?
Ok! Loves.
I’ll be tuning in.
xo – Katie
You got it!
I’ve only used my instant pot for chicken broth (you will never do it any other way) and kaula pork. Looking forward to more recipes!
Thank you! I just recently purchased an IP and have made a whole chicken, chicken stock, chicken soup and a Mexican Paleo Meatloaf – all turned out fantastic. So far I am very impressed. I am looking for ward to trying this recipe now as I have tried your slow cooker Chili and it was fantastic so I am sure this one will be great too.
OMG I am so excited to see this recipe revived! I wanna see more instapot recipes and more recipes from the past! And more cooking videos (which I know are comping and I just LOVE it!) ! I’m super pumped!!!!!! Exclamation points!!!!!!!
P.S. I always do the quick release method with my instapot and it makes me jump a mile every time. Just sayin.
I just made hard boiled eggs in the IP for the first time and it was life-changing. EVERY egg peeled perfectly, and it took less than 15 minutes from start to finish. I’m still in shock.
i’m doing that tomorrow! i hope that happens for me because my NEVER peel perfectly!
Hello I want to try this recipe! Everything looks fantastic except for there are no beans? So How do I add beans to this? And which kind?
Britt, my recipes are paleo so they do not include any legumes, which is why you don’t see beans in this recipe
In the pot now for lunch! Smells aaa-mazing!
