The Best InstantPot Chili

Best chili recipe

Cool fall weather calls for Chili! So we’re kicking off #SoupSeason with a classic.

Growing up my mother used to make a big pot of chili that we would eat off of through out the week. It would be hearty, savory & the definition of comfort food.

My recipe was giving me all those warm, nostalgic vibes. And the best part? It’s low sodium, low fat & full of flavor guaranteed! #LetsVibe
