Why Cook Chili In The Instant Pot?
Onions, broccoli, tomatoes and beets are vegetables that are highly nutritious, and add delicious, hearty flavors to your red lentil chili. Lentils are packed with protein, and low in calories and carbs. No longer just a dish of beans and tomatoes, chili is now one of the most versatile dishes that you can make in the Instant Pot.
