Hillbilly Chili and Cinnamon Rolls

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add the chili powder, stirring to keep it from scorching, 20-30 seconds, until very fragrant. (This technique is called "blooming" and the heat really brings out the essence of the chili powder.)
1-2 tablespoons mild chili powder
Add the ground beef and diced onion to the Dutch oven and sauté until the ground beef is nicely browned, cooked throughout, and no pink remains; drain most of the fats that accumulate as the beef cooks.
2 pounds ground beef, I typically use ground round or ground sirloin, 1 medium yellow onion, diced
Add the spaghetti pieces to the cooked and crumbled beef mixture, allowing them to absorb any of the juices and spices from the meat.
4 ounces spaghetti or angel hair pasta, broken into thirds
Add the chili beans with juices, tomato juice, sugar, salt, and pepper to the Dutch oven, giving it a stir. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cooking the chili for 25-30 minutes. **Simmer the chili longer if time allows to let the flavors meld even more.
15 ounce can chili beans, undrained, 46 ounces canned tomato juice, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper
Serve the chili in deep bowls, garnished with shredded cheese, corn chips, and sour cream, as desired. Hillbilly Chili is delicious served with a warm cinnamon roll on the side.
shredded cheddar, corn chips, and sour cream, for garnishing the chili as desired

Using the sauté setting on the Instant Pot (or any brand of electric pressure cooker), heat the chili powder, stirring to keep it from scorching, 20-30 seconds, until very fragrant. (This technique is called "blooming" and the heat really brings out the essence of the chili powder.)
Add the ground beef and the diced onions to the Instant Pot, continuing to cook until the beef is nicely browned and cooked throughout, and no pink remains. Drain any excessive fats from the cooked beef, then stir in the broken spaghetti pieces, letting them cook together for a minute or two.
Stir in the chili beans with juice, tomato juice, sugar, salt, and pepper, then give the chili a quick stir.
Lock the Instant Pot securely lid into place. Choose the high pressure setting for 3 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure. When the timer sounds, perform a quick release to remove all pressure from the pot. Carefully unlock the lid and remove it; give the chili a quick stir.
