How did she do that? Chili in the insta pot ...or not

Yesterday, I made beer bread and chili .

Insta pot Chili

8 ounces of cooked ground beef
1 quart of beef broth
1 can 15.5 Oz tomato sauce
1 can -15.5 Oz diced tomatoes
6 cups cooked pinto beans (cook 3 cups raw)
1 small can mild diced green chillies


  1. Cook 3 cups dried pinto beans .  Wash and pick beans.  Place in insta pot liner,  cover with water up to your second buckle. Put the kid in the insta pot and set to seal.   Push the bean button.   
  2. When the beans are done, quick release and drain the beans into a colander,   Place back in pot, 
  3. Add the stick, cans of tomato, and chillies,   
  4. Program the insta pot on slow cooker.  
Serve chilli with cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips.   
We had beer bread because some of our family are not partial to cornbread. Total cost of chili 3.09. 

.
Beer bread
3 cups bisquick
1/3 cup sugar
1 -12 ounce beer

Mix ingredients. Don’t over mix.
Place in a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 375 degrees 45-55 minutes or until it tests done.  Cake tester comes out clean when poked into the center of the bread.

Spread a pat of butter on top of the bread for a softer crust.

Notes :

I used sirloin tips for the beef.   It was the mystery meat I forgot to label in the beef basket in the freezer.   I processed the meat with the beef stock, and them proceeded with the recipe. Save!
You This recipe could be done in the slow cooker using cooked ground meat and canned beans .
Better than boullion makes a good beef broth that doesn’t cost three dollars a quart.
