That’s why I was thrilled to discover this recipe for making instant pot chili dogs with a homemade paleo cheese sauce. It combines three different things that my kids go crazy over—chili, hotdogs and cheese. You’ll be making a fiery hot chili first, with loads of ground beef and spicy ingredients.

I’ve tried dozens of paleo chili recipes, trying to narrow them down in an effort to find the best of the best, but I quickly realized that it’s nearly impossible to choose because there are so many variations that can suit different occassions. Take this low carb instant pot turkey chili for example. Made with ground turkey, the chili is high in protein and low in fat, so you have more room to top it with high-fat toppings such as cheese, avocado, chili oil, and other paleo approved ingredients.
