Last week I shared how to cook spaghetti squash in the pressure cooker. Today I’m sharing the chili I served on top of the spaghetti squash Cincinnati Style. You can make a great homemade chili in the pressure cooker in less than 30 minutes.

This Quick Black Bean and Chicken Sausage Chili is fairly spicy. If you don’t like it hot, add less chili powder and omit the cayenne pepper. I used chicken sausage in the chili because it has less fat, but also because we love the flavor. You could use your favorite sausage.

I used canned black beans when I made this chili, but earlier in the week the Veggie Queen shared her recipe for black beans in the pressure cooker. I have a bag of black beans in the pantry and next time, I’ll definitely cook the black beans in the pressure cooker too.
