Instant Pot Vegetarian Chili Mac

Sooo good. I used to make this a lot without anything spicy and I found it too cuminy, but now I nailed the seasoning. I used sweet paprika instead of chilli, added some smoked paprika, added half the cumin and substituted the other half with mild curry powder, liberally.

So easy and so tasty! I made a few changes: jalapeno is too hot for me, so I used a poblano; we used regular pasta instead of whole wheat; and we're not huge fans of kidney beans, so I replaced those with Boca crumbles. Will definitely make again!

I'll skip the noodles next time.

Pretty awesome result with not a ton of effort. I left the jalapeño out of the pot for my 6 and 8 year old and added it after plating. Goes well on its own or with tortilla chips. Could potentially replace the shredded cheese with a vegan alternative but we went dairy.
