Instant Pot Wendy’s Copycat Chili is a Delicious, Easy Way to Have Dinner on the Table Quickly!

We love Instant Pot Ground Beef recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot One Pot Spaghetti and Instant Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni.

INSTANT POT WENDY’S COPYCAT CHILI

Chili is a family favorite for so many people. There are a lot of ways to make it, but this recipe is definitely one of the best! There’s something for everyone – lots of ground beef, plenty of vegetables and chili beans, and just enough heat to satisfy.

With your Instant Pot, you can have chili on the table in minutes instead of hours!

WILL THE CHILI SCORCH OR BURN?

I love to have a pot of chili simmering away on the stove, but if I don’t babysit it, the bottom can easily scorch. In order to avoid this in the Instant Pot, don’t stir the tomatoes in before securing the lid. Instead, layer them on top of the other ingredients. That way, the sugars in the tomatoes won’t caramelize and scorch – they will simply meld right into the chili.

When you release the lid, just give the chili a quick stir!

CAN I MAKE WENDY’S COPYCAT CHILI ON THE STOVE TOP?

You can, but it will take longer. You will also need to add in more liquid to account for evaporation and stir occasionally to avoid scorching.

WILL INSTANT POT WENDY’S COPYCAT CHILI FREEZE WELL?

It freezes beautifully! Actually, chili is one of my favorite dishes to have on hand in the freezer. It’s so comforting and versatile!

I would not suggest doubling this recipe, as it may not fit well in your Instant Pot. However, it is so quick and easy to make that you can whip up a batch whenever you have a few spare minutes. That way, you will have plenty on hand!

This recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Pair it with my Southern Cornbread Muffins for a meal everyone will love!

Happenings From Our Family of 9

My husband and our friend Greg on top of a Mayan ruin on the Yucatan Peninsula.  It was extremely interesting studying the ruins and the people that lived there.  Did you know that there are still people there that speak the language of the Mayan people as their primary language?

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
