The reviewer who said real chili has beans is dead wrong this is a traditional chili . There are no beans in a real chili recipe. I am a professional chef and AB is on hte money as always.

That brown glop they serve in Texas is NOT Chili. Real chili has beans in it and is slow cooked. Alton, I thought you knew better. Have a show where you make REAL chili.

I thought AB had snapped his mainspring when I saw this, as I did when I saw him steaming chicken wings. I followed the recipe to the T and got rave reviews from friends and family. Then I got the bright idea to make 8 gallons of it for the Super Bowl party at the Yacht Club. 193 people there, one said she didn't like it at all, some said it was good, but a little spicey for them. The rest, including our staff want to know when I'm making another batch. They licked the pot clean. Graet Chili, simple, fast and best of all EASY.

Amazing how fast the meat breaks down and becomes tender in the pressure cooker-like it was on the stove for hours! I used all beef stew meat cut into 3/4" chunks. Went with Pace mild picante (which still has a little kick and a small can of Rotell tomatoes w/chiles for a little extra sauce. Added a big handful of crushed tortilla chips (which probably comes out to about a cup and the thickness of the sauce was perfect. I have never used chipotles in adobo before-it added a nice smoky heat that doesn't overwhelm the chili. I also added a can of pintos after cooking because I like concarne. Great job Alton!

Made this for game day and it was a complete hit, even with my father-in-law who is VERY particular about his chili. I used a combination of beef roast, pork ribs, and chorizo and browned in rendered pork belly fat. I also rehydrated anaheim chilis in beef broth and used both the broth and cut up the chilis into the mix. It was so rich! I'm thinking next time I might add an ounce of semisweet chocolate for a mole kick. Thank you Alton for another great recipe!

This is a great recipie I cooked it a few times and now have tweeked it to my own tastes, but I encourge anyone to try this as written first, if for no other reason that to try out a pressure cooker.
Also for those of you who don't think that this is traditional enough to be texas chili, thats like saying its not Cincinnati chili. This is Alton Brown's Pressure Cooker Chili judge it for what it is not what you think it should be.

This is the first time I have ever read the comments on a recipe. I usually just think five stars..I'll try it. But after reading the comments from people like Beuhlah, Sue and some others..I'm wondering why I ever thought people like that would have ratings that meant anything. WOW. I thought this was the foodnetwork..not a food fight.

Alton always has great recipes. And I'll always rate his recipes based on my personal opinon of the taste, etc...and not worry about the crazy people that don't have anything to do but embarrass themselves by mean hateful comments. Keep cooking Alton, but looks like I'm going to have to pick my recipes based on the recipe itself and not rely on others to help me decide.

Really Beaulah? Really? Leave it to the libs to turn ANY subject into a political subject. My God. BAD FORM. And not only did you manage to alienate an entire political party with your comment but an entire state. Nice. 6 pots of chili huh Beaulah? Sounds like it really does take a village in your house, at least.

The beer is important in this recipe- choose wisely. I used a handful of Fritos for the corn chips. For those who ended up with chili pudding... watch the heat and the rate of steam escaping from the cooker. If you let this go too fast you will end up with chili dirt. All in all I was pretty happy with my first attempt. Look forward to taking another run at it.

LOVE this recipe. However, I would NOT recommend getting frisky and throwing in the entire can of peppers. Stick to just the two and enjoy!
