Homemade Chili Toppings
The sour cream, scallions, and cheese really add more flavor to this already flavorful meal. You can serve this chili with scoops or tortilla chips, or you can also eat it with peanut butter crackers.
Whichever way your family chooses to eat their chili, it'll get in their bellies faster by using the Instant Pot.

Easy Instant Pot Dinner
I use my Instant Pot all the time! It saves so much time and those, "Oops, I forgot moments" when it comes to thawing out meats. It is a lifesaver!
One of my favorite meals to make is chili and now I serve my family dinner in half the time that it takes using the stovetop - and it's just as flavorful!
