To leave out the turkey for vegetarian children, what could I substitute?
Becca says
I’m sorry but I don’t really know! Maybe tofu?
Kate says
This says 4 servings, but how much is a serving? I doubled this and didn’t want to divide into 8 containers…
Becca says
Hey Kate!
Because of the size of your vegetables, the serving size will be a little different for everyone–I’d definitely recommend dividing it up if you’re using 21DF counts :)
Trang says
I love instant pot recipes, they make dinner such a breeze. Funny thing is I love sweet potato and my husband loves chili (but not so much sweet potato), let’s see if I can convince him to make this for dinner one night ;)
Becca says
It’s so delicious! Maybe if he cuts them small he won’t mind them in the chili?
Sue says
I don’t like sweet potatoes and I LOVE this! Just mush the potatoes after cooked. I also tone down the heat a lot!!!
Sandi says
I am still learning how to use my pressure cooker so your recipe is really helpful. Thank you :-)
Theresa says
This is a great recipe! I’ve had to eliminate the cayenne pepper and take out one chipoltle pepper for my wussy taste buds, but it’s still delicious! I’ve made it countless times and enjoy freezing single-serving portions for later. It makes for an easy lunch when I pop it back in the refrigerator to thaw the day before. Thanks for posting!
Ashley says
Could you upload traditional nutritional values? Sodium, calories, protein, etc
Erin gallegos says
I’m just learning how to cook and I’m still scared of our instapot. Do you have directions for regular stove or crock pot?
Diana says
How much is1 serving, based on your qty’s? 2/3 cup?
Becca says
I don’t know off the top of my head–maybe 2/3C-1C?
Kevin says
FYI, the video tells you to remove the chipotle peppers after pressure cooking, but the instructions don’t…and we followed the instructions the first time and needed an oral fire extinguisher.
Kevin says
Really delicious otherwise!
Barbarann Adamo says
only one potatoe? also do you put in the sauce the adobe sauce? and then take out the pepper
?
Becca says
Yes, one potato :) And yes I put in sauce and peppers, unless you’d like it less spicy–then just add the sauce.
Crystal says
First time instapoter here. Great recipie and instructions. It was a little too spicey for me so next time I’ll exclude the peppers and/or cut down on the cayenne. Will definitely make again!
Amie says
Tried this last night and it was amazing! Thanks so much for a different version of chili!! Yum
