Do you have an Instant Pot? After hearing dramatic murmurings about it like, "It's changed my life!" and "This is the greatest invention!" I finally bought one myself. I already have a slow cooker and a dozen other small kitchen devices and appliances taking up precious space in the kitchen so it took longer than I wish to actually try it out myself. Roasts come out so moist. You can even sauté in it! There are a handful of recipes that I make in it that are on constant rotation, but this one is a fan favorite in our house! (I love having it for lunch the next day as leftovers, too!) In the meantime, keep reading for the most delicious chili that (sans garnishes on top) is Paleo, Whole30, Gluten-Free and can be made in less than 30 minutes from start to finish!

Directions:
- Press the sauté button on the Instant Pot and wait for the screen to say hot. Once hot, add avocado oil.
- Wait about one minute for oil to heat up, then add veggies-- sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onion-- and 1 teaspoon salt while cooking.
- Allow to cook for 5 minutes until tender
4. Add garlic and tomato paste and stir for 1 minute
5. Add ground beef and rest of salt. Stir and break up the meat until cooked through. (About 5-6 minutes)
6. Stir in spices and adobo sauce, followed by the tomatoes, broth, and apple cider vinegar
7. Mix well and then close the lid and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
8. Before serving, taste to see if it needs more spicing. Serve with your favorite toppings!
