{ 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!

if i wanted to double up this recipe should i just times by 2 or do you suggest something else?
i haven’t tried doubling it myself so i can’t say for sure, but i’m sure it would be delicious doubled
Just bought an instant pot and this is my first recipe! So awesome 🙂
My husband is definitely hard to please and isn’t a fan of most of the paleo meals I cook. I made this chili for us tonight and he said it was one of the best he’s ever had!
Between us and the kids (age 4 and 6), the pot of chili is gone now.
Great recipe, Juli, and I’m enjoying making so many things in my instant pot!
that’s so awesome!! glad you guys liked it!
Why I never thought to add bacon to chili is beyond me! Loved it with the smoky paprika.
UnREAL. So, so good and couldn’t be more simple. Topped it with avocado instead of ranch or coco cream. Just superb, Juli. Thank you!
My meat turned out kinda mushy 🙁 not sure why, so I am going to stick with the original recipe which last time turned out Amaz-balls.
that’s so strange!
Just made this tonight and love love love it!!! I have been cookinh your recipes for a couple months now and I have loved everything! Thanks so much for your recipes and everything else, you are an inspiration!
awwww thanks for the love, amy!
So good! I made a double batch of your old school version of this last night and will Be making it in my instant pot once I get it for Christmas this year. My husband topped his with cheese and sour cream, and I served mine over some spaghetti squash with a few dashes of hot sauce.
Another bomb recipe! Yet again, you’re making me look like a legit cook. My husband was like, “Make this again. Don’t change anything about it. It’s perfect. And don’t forget where you found it.” The Instant Pot is the best thing ever (or, is that just something older people say?!). I have a love affair with certain kitchen appliances.
yayyyyyy!! that’s so great to hear! the instant pot makes it even more delicious than just the pot. so glad you both loved it!
Sorry for the possibly obvious question. Making this tonight, do you pre-cook the ground beef or put it in the IP raw and it cooks with the rest of the ingredients?
yep, the beef is only with the rest of the ingredients that are cooked in the pot for 5 minutes
