The other night a local charity organization I am affiliated with held a "meat raffle" fundraiser.  If you aren't familiar, basically, a local restaurant hosts us.  We purchase large meat packages and we raffle them off.  It's fun.  The prizes are great and it's a super easy way to raise money.  As a matter of fact, this particular one took in over $1700!

Anyway, the reason I am telling you about this is that my husband won a raffle.  We ended up with 3 lb ground beef, 6 pork chops. 8 Italian sausages, 2 lbs shaved steak, 2 whole chickens, 3 lb stew meat, bacon and something else that is escaping me right now.

We came home and I immediately started planning out meals for the following week or two.  Thankfully, I had just won a food grade vacuum sealer type gadget at a Yankee Swap over Christmas.  I got a pretty cheap version but I think I am going to upgrade to one like this one by FoodSaver.  Again, I'm drifting. 

I sealed up the meat and popped most of it in the freezer.

Then I started asking the family if they had any special requests. 

Our oldest daughter had a solid request - CHILI!

I have recently made a kid friendly chili but it's really mild.  While delicious, we decided we were in the mood for a good flavorful and filling chili. 

I was up to the challenge.

Obviously, I was doing it in the Instant Pot.  I don't think I need to explain my reasons.  If you want to make this on the stove (why?), just simmer it for at least an hour I'd guess.  But again, just get yourself an Instant Pot!

 Quick note about this Instant Pot Chili (Ground Beef & Black Bean) -

• I generally use kidney beans but decided to swap in the black beans because that is what I had on hand.  Feel free to use kidney beans.
• When you take the cover off the Instant Pot it will be rather liquidy.  Some people like that.  I prefer to thicken it up with a slurry.  It's up to you.
• Delicious topping ideas:  scallions, chives, sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, guacamole (just to name a few)
