Ingredients

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved across the middle and seeds removed
1 cup water
2 cups prepared chili
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

Place the trivet in the liner of an Instant Pot®. Add water and place spaghetti squash halves on the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Pour chili into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Drain any accumulated water from the squash halves. Shred squash equally into 4 individual serving bowls. Top with chili and shredded Mexican cheese blend.
