Beef and Beer Chili Instant Pot Recipe

March 14, 2020

This Instant Pot beef and beer chili recipe is one of our favorites. It’s a crowd pleaser for a reason and it just got even better. With the addition of a good dark beer, it’s magical. If you prefer to leave out the beer, don’t worry, it’ll still be delicious! It’s chili that tastes like it lazily simmered away half of the afternoon in 30 minutes.

We are big fans of chili in our house. This simple turkey chili is one we make at least a few times a year, along with this turkey pumpkin chili made in the slow cooker.

My original intention with this chili was bison instead of ground beef, however I didn’t embrace the idea of a $12 serving of chili. I’m used to paying a little more for food, but the price of bison has gone up quite a bit since the last time I purchased it. Once I regained my composure and wiped away my tears, I set off toward the ground beef.

Simple Turkey Chili Recipe

Simple turkey chili is made with ground turkey and plenty of vegetables for a fast and easy chili recipe perfect for weeknight cooking.
For a delicious slow cooker chili, try my Turkey Pumpkin Slow Cooker Chili. It is creamy and just a little spicy.

This chili is a staple in our house during the fall and winter months. I make double batches to freeze for quick dinners when I need them. Chili always tastes even better the next day, so plan ahead if you can.

Turkey Pumpkin Chili Slow Cooker Recipe

August 26, 2019

Turkey pumpkin chili is a great fall dinner that can be made in the slow cooker. Chili is one of my favorite cool weather meals and since it’s fall, pumpkin is everywhere! 

This chili is made without tomatoes, so it’s a bit different from your normal chili. We like it so much that it just might give my Simple Turkey Chili a run for its money.

Slow cooker meals are great for those days when you want something comforting, but you don’t really have time to stand in front of the stove. This chili recipe is perfect for days like that. Plus, it give the chili time to develop all of the wonderful flavors going on in there.

11 of My Very Best Fall Recipes

October 7, 2016

fall-recipe-roundup

Crisp fall air and leaves turning shades of red and burnished orange, the crackle of them under your feet as you walk down the street with hands snuggled deep inside your pockets.    Autumn is by far my favorite season.  The temperatures begin to cool down at night, calling for an extra blanket or a down comforter.    This is something I miss now that I live south of the Mason Dixon line.  It’s only been 3 and a half years, but I doubt I’ll ever really get used to the lack of (distinguishable) seasons.

Spicy Thai Chicken Salad with Chili Lime Dressing

July 10, 2012

Spicy Thai chicken salad with spicy chili lime dressing is my go-to summer dinner. The vinaigrette keeps me coming back for more and because it’s so light, I don’t feel the least bit guilty. This salad is a great alternative to it’s heavy, mayo-laden cousins.

In my continuing effort to avoid turning my kitchen into the sweltering fires of hell,  I decided that this time I would cheat a little.  Just a little, and it’s for the greater good. The heat index is hovering in the triple digits while beads of sweat are pooling at the nape of my neck. The least entertaining thought at this moment is “let’s fire up the oven”.

Store-bought roast chicken: In the winter months, this would be considered sacrilege… but in the blistering heat of summer, it is sweet salvation! 

As if buying the chicken wasn’t enough, the food processor is going to do the majority of the work!  Yep, this might be the perfect summer recipe. The amount of work involved barely even registers.  If you don’t own a food processor it isn’t the end of the world, just a bit of chopping & grating.
