I love recipes like that! Don’t you?
How to Make Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chili Recipe
To make it, I add olive oil to the interior pot of my Instant Pot set on the saute setting. Then, I add in my diced onion and saute until the onion is just tender. Then, I add in my garlic, ground pork and ground beef.
I love the complexity of the pork and ground beef in this recipe, but you can certainly just use ground beef. You can also substitute the beef with ground turkey, if you prefer.
Once the meat has been browned, I add in my sweet potatoes. It always amazes me how quickly they cook to absolute perfection in the Instant Pot! Then, I stir in the celery, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce (or coconut aminos if you are following a Paleo or Whole-30 lifestyle), cumin and chili powder.
The chili is flavorful, with tender pieces of sweet potato and just the right amount of spiciness so that everyone can enjoy it. Of course, if you like a spicier chili, add a little more. I always like to have a container of chili powder on the serving table when I serve my chili so that people can add more to their individual liking.
Here’s my Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chili recipe. I hope you love it!
