Here is a hearty Chili Mac in minutes with the pressure cooker. Browning the sausage and burger takes as long as the pressure cooker does to cook the rest. Truly dinner in about 15 minutes from start to finish.
Pressure Cooker Chili Mac Recipe
This is so easy, chop onion, mince garlic and add to beef as it browns. Drain fat, brown sausage combine with beef in the pressure cooker, pour in the rest, a quick stir, lock the lid set to manual for 5 minutes, quick release, add corn and stir. Top with cheese and serve with tortilla chips or saltines. You can saute the beef, sausage, onion, and garlic in the pressure cooker but I prefer the stove top method.
This is perfect for families on the go that need a quick but hearty, healthy meal. We are still experimenting but expect to have many other recipes soon.
