Pressure-Cooker Andouille Lentil Chili image

This recipe has been in my family for a number of years, and it's still a hit today. The smoky flavor of the andouille sausage adds a lot to the humble lentils. And you can make it in either a pressure cooker or a slow cooker. -Melody Gow, Mead, Washington

I'm not sure how this recipe got so many good reviews. I thought it was terrible.

I would give this chili a 4 out of 5 stars. It was very good, but I would have liked it more if it had been a bit spicier.

This chili is okay, but I've had better. I found it to be a bit too salty and the texture was a bit mushy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chili turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This chili is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I made this chili with ground beef instead of andouille sausage, and it was still really good. I think next time I'll try it with the sausage, though.

This chili is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and filling, and the andouille sausage gives it a nice kick.

This chili is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The andouille sausage gives it a great smoky flavor and the lentils add a nice heartiness. I also love that it's made in the pressure cooker, so it's quick and easy to make.
