During the week, I’m really busy and I am guessing that you are too. This Instant Pot Chili is one of the recipes I make whenever I don’t have a lot of time to cook. I’ve been adding beans to recipes now that I learned more about the health benefits of beans. Beans are great sources of protein that help to keep you full and satisfied.

How Long Should I Cook Chili in an Instant Pot?

The whole process took me 45 minutes. Cooking under pressure will take 20-25 minutes max. Overall cooking time depends on the amount of Chili you’re making.
