Instant Pot Pumpkin Beef Chili
We're keeping the fall theme going with a quick and easy frozen stew meat instant pot recipe that is the ideal of a one pot meal. We used an Instant Pot to make this a quick weeknight classic, but it can also be prepared on the stove if you have time to let a tasty pot of chili simmer for a few hours. This looks like a lot of ingredients, but it's mostly spices and a few veggies you throw in a pot.

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup frozen corn
1 orange bell pepper, cut in large dice
1 cup carrots cut in 1/2 inch chunks
