I think I make chili every week from Oct-March…every single year. My family has their favorite version that we make most often, but because we have it so often I like to change things up. I made this Instant Pot Chili a couple weeks ago and it was a huge hit with everyone, so it’s going on our chili rotation.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Chili

It was such a hit, that I’m making it for the big game coming up when we have a house full of friends…but I’m making this DIY Chili Bar! I cannot begin to tell you how much my family (and all the neighbor kids) loved this Chili Bar. Everyone’s bowl of chili was different and totally them.

{Side note: I had never really shopped the food section at Cost Plus World Market until a couple weeks ago. Let me tell you…they have some killer finds and it makes this chili delicious! Tomatoes from Italy, Global Beers, and fresh chili powder!!! YUM!}

I’m all about the easy entertaining! Aren’t you?!?!

Making the chili in the Instant Pot means I can start it right before the game starts and it’s hot and ready before half time! Just brown the ground beef on the saute setting and then add the rest of the ingredients. Pressure for 25 minutes. Super easy!

However, while at World Market…it hit me to do a Chili Bar and let everyone have fun with tons of toppings. From classic onions, cheese, corn chips…to crazy things like croutons and pistachios.

How Create A Chili Bar

I love creating DIY Bars for parties and big gatherings, like my Pizza Bar and this Chili Bar. It lets everyone pick what they love and makes entertaining a breeze. While I was out shopping, I picked up a ton of gorgeous bowls and a wooden tray to contain all those bowls that I filled with lots of goodies.

I added a little pop of color with the flowers.

For the chili bar, I pretty much cleaned out my pantry and fridge with little odds and ends. My chili bar included:

popcorn
goldfish
corn chips
croutons
limes
green onions
jalapenos
pistachios
cheddar cheese
avocado
bacon
tomatoes
cilantro
hot sauce

But really, you can add just about anything! Make it your own and go crazy!
