Instant Pot Pork Chili is a warm, comforting chili that uses ground pork, warm spices, black beans, corn and fire roasted tomatoes to create a flavor packed meal. This chili cooks in a pressure cooker in no time but there are also options for the slow cooker and the stove. 

INSTANT POT PORK CHILI

I am back today with another quick and easy Instant Pot {pressure cooker} recipe to warm you up this winter.

I don’t often think of making chili using ground pork but when I do I am reminded that it is a nice change.

This Instant Pot Pork Chili is one of those meals you can throw together on a busy weeknight and use as leftovers during the week or even freeze half for later.

I also love making other instant pot recipes in the colder months like this Instant Pot Turkey Taco Pasta, Instant Pot Chili Mac or this Instant Pot Turkey Chili.  

You will notice in the recipe that I also give you slow cooker and stove top options in case you would prefer to make it one of those ways.

This Instant Pot Pork Chili mixes together ground pork, warm spices, black beans, corn and fire roasted tomatoes.

The flavors that develop as the chili cooks in the pressure cooker are really warm and the base for a delicious chili.

Of course once I am ready to serve up the chili I always lay out a nice spread of toppings.

Some of my favorites are chopped avocados, cheese, diced red onion, jalapeños, sour cream, lime wedges, hot sauce and some broke up chips.

I don’t know if you watched the big game this past Sunday.

I have to admit if the Packers aren’t playing I am just there for the commercials, half-time show and of course the food.

Chili is almost always on our menu along with some delicious appetizers like hummus, finger foods and other dips.

This year I made this Instant Pot Pork Chili and it was a huge hit with my family.

I always have a list of my favorite chili recipes for the colder months and I put them on rotation throughout winter.

Here are some ways you can modify this chili recipe:

• BEANS: Add different beans or even more beans. I like pinto, kidney beans, chickpeas or white beans.
• SALSA: Throw in a couple of spoonfuls of your favorite salsa to the chili after cooking and stir it in. This always adds a little extra flavor and spice.
• SPICE IT UP: If you like spice {I know I do} add some chopped jalapeño when you add the bell peppers to your pot. They will release some heat. You can also add hot sauce, cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• VEGETABLES: Mix up the vegetables. I like to add in carrots, celery, bell peppers, poblanos, zucchini or jalapeños.
