Make this delicious Syn Free Beef and Six Bean Chilli on the stove, slow cooker on Instant Pot (pressure cooker)

There is something comforting about a lovely bowl of chilli, and this yummy beef and six bean chilli, has the delicious sweetness of sweet potato, with a mix of different beans instead of the usual kidney beans you traditionally find in a chilli con carne.

Because of the sweetness from the sweet potato, with the slightly spicy kick (which you can adjust to make spicier if you prefer), kids will love this too, so it makes a perfect family meal.

This Beef and Six Bean Chilli is great served with rice, syn free chips, jacket potato and many more sides of your choosing.

Hey you can even enjoy a bowl of this just as it is, topped with some cheese from your healthy extra a choice and syn a little soured cream or use fat free greek yoghurt as a syn free option (add a little lemon juice and salt), some chopped cilantro (coriander) and fresh chopped tomatoes or maybe some sliced jalapenos if you love a really spicy kick in your food.

If you like something a little different to the usual syn free chips, You could even serve it with these Sweet Potato Fries or Butternut Squash Fries. The latter being a great option if you are following a SP friendly day (don’t forget to swap the sweet potato in this Beef and Six Bean Chilli for butternut squash though).

Did you know there are various meal plans right here on the blog to choose from, including Extra Easy, Vegetarian and Slimming World SP.  The meal plans take all the hard work out of meal planning for you, so that all you need to do is cook and enjoy all the amazing food.

When cooking this Beef and Six Bean Chilli on the stove, it is best left to simmer for at least 40 mins, as it helps the flavour to develop. You can also cook this in a slow cooker. 

But when I am rushed for time, I use my Instant Pot, If you haven’t heard of an Instant Pot, I can honestly say, it is the best kitchen gadget I have purchased.

It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute’s, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven’t tried that yet).

There are other versions of multi-pressure cookers out there too, such as the Pressure King Pro, as well as cheaper brands, I always recommend checking out reviews on popular sites like Amazon before buying, as you usually get an idea of which ones rate well.
