    1 15 oz Dark red kidney beans, 1 30 oz Pintos

Cooking Times

  • Pressure Cooker - After adding all ingredients (brown the meat beforehand), cook on normal pressure for 30 minutes. Use a quick release, or allow the chili pressure to release as it simmers. Estimate an additional 20 minutes for a slow release.
  • Slow Cooker - Add all ingredients to the slow cooker after browning the meat. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or 2-4 hours on high.
  • Dutch Oven- Brown the meat and add all additional ingredients. Stir frequently and bring chili to a slow simmer for 45 minutes.
