Between the pinto beans and black beans, you already have beautiful colors. However, if you want to stretch this beef chili recipe a bit more, you can also add a can or two of kidney beans. You could also add a can of tomato sauce to make it a bit more saucy.

Must Have Resources:
When making Instant Pot Beef & Bean Chili at home, you really need to have the following Amazon affiliate tools on hand.
Instant Pot – Kind of hard to make this instant pot meal if you don’t have one, right? LOL!
Measuring Spoons – Lots of measuring of spices, so these long spoons are the best for getting into the spice jars.
Measuring Cups – These are my favorite!
Make it a Meal:
Vegetable Side: You have enough kidney beans in this meal that you don’t really need a vegetable side dish. However, I find that green salad goes well with it.
Starch Side: Chili goes best with cornbread. But, I like to eat mine over white rice with some cheese and sour cream topping it. Then, I scoop it up with saltine crackers. YUM!
Refreshing Drink: Sweet tea, the drink of champions. LOL!
Don’t forget Dessert: These Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Brownies are the only dessert you are going to need.
