Lately the weather has been quite chilly I wanted nothing more than something warm, comforting and hearty. Given that description, chili fit the bill and I came across this recipe for Chunky Two-Bean and Beef Chili. This chili takes beef, hot chili beans, dark kidney beans and a delicious blend of spices along with onion, garlic, bell pepper, tomato and red wine. It’s not your typical chili but it definitely makes for a satisfying bowl to warm you on those winter nights!…
If I were to describe this even further, I found this chili recipe to be a cross between a stew and chili. It really takes the best of both and combines them together! The bonus is that it’s gluten free to begin with and it’s a great make ahead meal that’s also freezer friendly.

To the now empty IP pot, add 2 teaspoons oil, onion, and bell pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño; sauté for 1 minute.
