We love Dad’s recipe for beef chili and beans and this beef chili pressure cooker recipe is even easier because we don’t have to hover over the stove! This chili recipe can easily be made in a slow cooker too. If the slow cooker has a sear function, then this chili will be just as delicious as in the Instant Pot!

Best Chili Toppings

• As with any chili party, the best part are the toppings and you can keep it simple with just some cheese on top. From shredded cheddar, pepper jack to cotija, there’s so many great flavors to choose from.
• Sour cream adds a creamy decadent texture to the chili.
• Green onions, red onions
• minced jalapeño or serrano chiles for extra spice.
• diced tomato or salsa
