Charcuterie Chili
Could chili be any more fun? Charcuterie Chili is as fun to eat as it is to serve for a casual gathering. This mouthwatering, mildly-spiced gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free & nut-free beef chili is made with US Wellness Meats 85% lean grass-fed ground beef. Accented with subtle sweet notes from dried apricots, black grapes and a semi-sweet red wine blend, this charcuterie-inspired chili, topped with a dreamy (and dairy-free) provolone cheese sauce, is so texture-rich, colorful, flavorful and FUN!

- Turn off Sauté mode. Add 1.5 Tsp kosher salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic, apricots, grapes, crushed tomatoes & cannellini beans to instant pot; stir to combine.
- Add semi-sweet red wine blend; do not stir.
- Close instant pot lid. Select Pressure Cook setting, then select Chili setting (10 minutes) or Custom setting for 10 minutes.
- To make provolone cheese sauce, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in gluten-free flour; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in warmed whipping cream; whisk constantly until thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes. remove sauce pan from heat. Whisk in chopped provolone cheese until combined, then whisk in remaining 1/2 Tsp kosher salt.
- To serve, ladle chili into 4 bowls. Spoon cheese sauce over chili. Garnish with salami, prosciutto, dried apricots, quartered black grapes, fresh raspberries, crackers & sliced green onions. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings, unless serving as an appetizer in smaller bowls or ramekins.
Notes
Delicious served with glasses of chilled semi-sweet red wine (optional). The dairy-free cheese sauce can be omitted to make this a lighter meal. Or you can substitute desired amount of grated dairy-free cheese in place of the cheese sauce.
