Ingredient Tip: The three beans used in this chili cook at roughly the same rate. If you want to swap any of these beans for another, choose one that cooks in roughly the same amount of time, such as navy beans. If you use kidney beans, know that they cook more quickly, in about 15 to 20 minutes, so they may be slightly overdone and falling apart.

what is the purpose of putting ingredients in jar?
I have the same question as Barbara. If the jar is for storage, please say that. Also, if that’s the case shouldn’t all beans be dried?
I suggest making minor changes the directions for clarity.
I am confused. Like the others, i do not understand the ourpose of the jar.
But also, the six cups of broth, do the go outside the jar? Or in the jar?
You say, mix well. But if things are to be mixed well, why do the ingredients have to be placed in the jar in any particular order?
Is “The Jar” for gift giving to someone with the ingredients & then they cook it at their leisure? Is this a gimmick to sell your book? I can see a novice putting that jar in a pressure cooker. What a disaster that could be. Your directions leave a lot to be desired & really are dangerous. But th e jars do look cute.
Clearly lacking details.
I think it’s meal prep, or a gift for someone with a new IP. Putting things in jars is all the rage for cooking on YouTube. Spices, beans, noodles are displayed in jars.
I could eat this everyday! Great! Quick & easy to make.
‘Meals In a Jar’ cookbook is all about putting the dry ingredients in a jar ahead of time, leaving it in your pantry, and you have an easy meal ready to go. Just dump the jar contents in your pressure cooker, add water/broth and let your pressure cooker do the rest.
It would be really helpful if the instruction simply said “empty the jar ingredients into the pot.” It would’ve saved at least 10 minutes searching the Web for clarification. I couldn’t agree more with the comments made above.
I wish I can say I’ve made a successful IP chili from dry beans. The ratios are constantly wrong. This recipe has 1.5 cups of beans and some dry veggies that also don’t amount to more than a cup yet it calls for 6 cups of broth. I put in 4.5 cups of broth and cooked according to directions. So disappointing opening the lid to find the beans are not cooked well and the consistency is a soup, not chili. The search continues for a recipe that works.
We loved this. We had only black and white beans. We used only about 4 cups of water and it was still a bit soupy, but I mashed a lot of the beans against the side of the pot when it was done and the consistency was perfect. Also added some tomato paste. It was great when we served it and better the next day. This is a keeper (and it’s hard to find good veggie instant pot chili recipes).
