Instant Pot Pumpkin Chili…Pumpkin is so on-trend…we are even putting it in chili these days…and let me tell you, I’m so glad we are! It adds sweet and rich back notes to this recipe and the pumpkin pie spice adds that little something you like, but can’t quite put your finger on. This chili also is bean free for those of you who don’t enjoy beans. If you do enjoy beans, I would choose cannellini beans.
And, its all made in the Instant Pot…how easy is that!
Here is what I did:
