Using beer in chili is nothing new, but you may be hard pressed to find a chili recipe that uses Guinness. At Pressure Cooker Passion we developed a recipe that includes the rich and creamy flavors of Guinness, accented by an eclectic blend of spices. Guinness Instant Pot Chili Recipe is a combination is a vibrant and spicy chili, with a velvety texture, that is perfect for all seasons.
We really like having chili all year round. Our Guinness Instant Pot Chili is not only a great way to warm up in the winter, but also the perfect add on to many summertime BBQ classics like hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages. The recommended garnish for our chili is sharp cheddar, sour cream, red onion, avocado and sliced jalapenos, and of course it can be paired with a pint of Guinness.
As the old slogan says, “Guinness is Good for You”, but here at Pressure Cooker Passion we’ve updated it a bit to, “Guinness Chili is Good for You”, and who can argue with that?
