I made a Boca burger chili and it was great! The burger gives the chili a little smokey flavor. I used pinto beans, bay leaf, cumin, onions, green bell pepper, chile powder and garlic.

This is our favorite chili recipe! I've won two cooking contests with it and I cook it all the time for home and also for get-togethers.

I am posting my original recipe, although now I prepare and serve it vegan, leaving out the cheese and sour cream.

I usually saute the veggies and then finish in the crockpot.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I wonder if the recipe above can be made in the instant pot, and how best to do that?

I've used my instant pot only with recipes specific to it and am not sure of the best way to convert...thanks!

I believe either of those would be easy in an Instapot. I'd probably sauté my onions, garlic, peppers and spices first in a skillet and then add that and everything else to the Instapot and let it rip. I'd also add these ingredients to either of the above recipes for more of my flavor of chili:

rehydrated chipotle peppers
Liquid Smoke - careful with this, strengths are all over the map but it really adds to the flavor of veggie chili
coriander and turmeric
any of the veggie meat crumbles like Beyond, Gardein, Impossible

Thanks! I think I can use the Instant Pot saute function - I've used that for Indian food - I'm never sure how long to let it pressure cook. Regardless it all sounds delicious

Lot's of good vegetarian options here on the thread.

I'm getting ready to use one I found that actually adds dry roasted peanuts for added texture. Can't wait to try it.
