HILLBILLY CHILI

This is a tried-and-true recipe (many times over!) that your family will ask for again and again.
It’s quick and easy.
You can use any type of ground meat to make this chili.
The addition of spaghetti makes this a fun version of chili.
It goes perfectly with cinnamon rolls! (Does one need anything else??)
My whole family loves chili, especially this Hillbilly Chili that includes spaghetti. At first I thought this an odd ingredient for chili, but we have absolutely fallen in love with it. (Be warned – many people have said they think the addition of spaghetti is just WRONG.)

When you make this chili, you will notice that it has the consistency of soup rather than a thick chili. This is a good thing because of the spaghetti. Pasta has a tendency to really soak up the broth, so this chili lends itself well to the spaghetti.

We eat a lot of soups, chili, and chowders during the Fall and Winter months. I love making soup and chili in my 6-quart Instant Pot (or even my 8-quart Instant Pot for really big batches of soup) to get dinner on the table a whole lot quicker. We especially enjoy Instant Pot Sausage, Bacon and Potato Soup, Instant Pot Chicken and Orzo Soup and Vegetables, and Tex Mex Corn Chowder, just to name a few.

HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE HILLBILLY CHILI –
