Description

Easy Instant Pot chili made with savory ground beef, beans, bell peppers, juicy tomatoes, and jalapeños, simmered in the pressure cooker for a hearty, satisfying one-pot meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 cups beef broth, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 (28- ounce) can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15- ounce) can of tomato sauce
  • 2 (15- ounce) cans of beans, drained (kidney, pinto, or black beans)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher alt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Set the instant pot to saute mode. Add the oil.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic. Saute until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl.
  3. Add the ground beef to the hot instant pot. Break up into chunks and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Use an oven mitt to remove the inner pot and drain the fat. Return the inner pot to the unit.
  4. Add 1 cup of beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze any stuck-on bits.
  5. Add the spices and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then press cancel.
  6. Add the remaining broth. Then add all of the other ingredients. Do NOT stir. Place the lid on the instant pot and set the vent to seal. Set to Manual/High Pressure for 15 minutes. Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Release the remaining pressure and remove the lid.
  7. Stir the chili and serve immediately.
