Picante Chili

These chili beans are super easy to make in the Instant Pot!

I named it Picante Chili because you add a big jar of Picante salsa. I've tired other salsa brands and the Fish Fam loved the Picante kind.

Ingredients: 

• 6 cups soaked overnight pinto beans
• 3-5 slices of bacon or 1/2-1cup pre chopped bacon (in bag)
• 1lb. hamburger meat
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 garlic cloves or 1tbsp of diced garlic
• 2 Tbsp Chili powder
• 1 Tbsp of smoked paprika 
• Salt and pepper as desired
• Few dashes of Cayenne powder, if you want it spicier
• 24 oz. jar Pace Medium Picante Sauce
• 24-30oz of water (enough to just cover the beans)

Directions: 

• Soak the beans overnight.
• Cook the bacon slices. Don't have to cook fully. 
• Clean the pan out a bit and fry some of the onions and garlic.
• Add the hamburger meat and cook. Don't have to cook all the way.
• I like draining the fat. 
• Chop and add bacon pieces. 
• Add all the spices....

•  Add everything to the pot....

• I fill the empty picante jar with water, about a jar and a half or so, just enough to cover the beans. 
• Set at manuel for 10mins.
• Sometimes I do a quick release or sometimes I let it naturally release for about 5-10mins. This means the beans will cook more, which doesn't seem to do any harm. I guess it just depends on how soft you like your beans.  

• Serve over Navajo Tacos, rice, baked potatoes, we like to serve them over lots of cauliflower, or anything you'd like!

ENJOY!
