Enjoy the great taste of slow cooked ground beef chili in less than an hour with the help of your Instant Pot!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) bag dry kidney beans, sorted and rinsed
  • 8 cups water, plus additional if desired
  • 2 pounds ground chuck
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (32 ounce) carton beef broth
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes in juice
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (I use about 1 tablespoon of salt to compensate for the dry beans)

Instructions

1. Place beans into the electric pressure cooker with water. Set the valve to sealing and cook the beans for 20 minutes on high pressure. Quick release and carefully transfer beans to a colander to drain. Rinse the pressure cooker liner and wipe the outside of the liner dry. Replace the liner into the pressure cooker.

2. Turn on the saute function and allow the pressure cooker to heat. Add the ground chuck, onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until the ground beef is browned. Drain well. Return the meat and vegetables to the pressure cooker along with the drained beans and other ingredients. If you prefer a soupier chili, add an additional cup of water. Stir well.

3. Cover the pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing. Program the pressure cooker to manual or “pressure cook” on high for 30 minutes. When the cook cycle is complete, quick release the pressure. Stir again, taste to adjust seasonings, and serve with your choice of condiments.
