This is just a classic, absolutely perfect chili recipe. Using the pressure cooker, you can quickly cook your beans from dry versus using canned beans, which will save you money AND they just taste better! If you’ve never cooked beans from dried, this is the perfect opportunity.
If you don’t want to cook the beans from dry, just skip the bean cooking step, and add in 2 cans of drained black beans (or whatever beans you want!) at the same time that you return the cooked dried beans to the pot in the recipe.
