{ 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!

Just got an Instant Pot for Christmas – hoping to see more IP recipes from you in the future – yeah!
I spit out my drink when you said Raven looks like Wednesday Addams. You’re so spot on. This season is gonna be crraaaaazzaayyy!!!
Making this now in my instant pot but having a hard time getting it to come up to pressure. Perhaps there’s not enough liquid? ???? Smells amazing though!
Soo delicious. Saving this to make again!
I made this chili on the stove (no IP), and it’s incredible! This will be in the regular meal rotation I think, thanks for another great recipe!
awesome! glad you liked it!
Please continue to post pressure cooker recipes! I have one and have been intimidated to use it. Maybe if i try some of your delicious recipes I will learn to love it! Can’t wait to try this one out!
Damn, this is so tasty. I doubled the recipe for my family of 4 and we killed it in a day and a half. My 14 year old daughter said she wants this option everyday as an after school snack.
Thanks for all your deliciousness!
Forgot to rate!
yay!! glad you loved it!
Holly cow! I don’t have an instant pot, but I have a pressure cooker. I made this in my pressure cooker and it turned out sooooo good! The flavors and texture are amazing! Really, the BEST paleo chili recipe I’ve EVER made! Thank you so much for this!
awesome!! thanks for trying the recipe out!
Hi Juli! Made this and loved it! I have made the lechon asada (and pico and tostones!) and it is a favorite in our house. Do you think it would be possible to do in the IP? 50 minutes on high, natural release? Would you still marinate the night before?
Thanks!
for doubling up this recipe, what would you recommend? a straight double of all ingredient amounts or something a little different?
it should be fine double completely, you wouldn’t need the doubled amount of bacon though
