Beef Chuck Roast Chili
This is a great cold weather recipe. It is very flavorful, and has a medium ‘heat’ to it. You can cut the spiciness with a little cheese and sour cream just before serving. Using an electric pressure cooker (like an InstantPot – I use a Cuisinart CPC-600 and love it!) is a great way to…
