Beef Chili for the Pressure Cooker

Submitted by CaribbeanQueen

"This is an easy and time saving recipe. If you don't have a pressure cooker, this adapts well to the stove top or the crock pot. I have let this simmer all day in a crock pot and the results are great. Make this as mild or spicy to suit your own tastes. My house? Spice rules!"
