One of my big challenges this past year was figuring out how to make a bean-free low FODMAP chili. I’ve been making chili for years, but almost always with beans. And never without onions and garlic.

After I got my Instant Pot for Christmas (Amazon affiliate link) I decided to work on perfecting my low FODMAP chili recipe.

Although you can make this chili in any slow cooker, what makes it ideal for the Instantpot is your ability to saute the meat and the veggies in the Instant Pot before moving into slow cooker mode. No more using the stove and dirtying up an extra skillet!

Ideas for Making the Low FODMAP Chili Your Own

The key to giving this low FODMAP chili its authentic chili taste, in my opinion, is using garlic-infused olive oil to brown your meat. So whatever you do, don’t change that part of the recipe up! Ditto for including the celery, which acts as a textural replacement for the onions.

But I encourage you to swap in your favorite stew meat. It’s also OK to substitute whatever in-season veggies you have on hand for the mushrooms and bell peppers.
