The Best Instant Pot Chili Recipes

INSTANT POT CHILI

Steps:

• Add the chopped onion and oil to your Instant Pot and press the sauté button. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in the ground beef and cook, stirring often (break it up with your spoon), until browned.
• Stir in the garlic, and then add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, beans, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper. Close the lid, ensure the valve is set on "sealing", press the "manual" button, and set the timer for 15 minutes.
• Once the countdown has finished, you can do a quick pressure release or let the pressure release naturally (this will build more flavor). Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and serve with desired toppings.

INSTANT POT® CHILI

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add ground beef. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer cooked beef to a separate container.
• Pour oil into the Instant Pot® and select Saute function. Add onion, garlic, and salt. Cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Make a hole in the center of the mixture and add chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Let spices sit for 30 seconds, then stir into the onion. Return cooked beef to the pot and add water. Stir, being sure to scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
• Stir beans, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste into the beef mixture. Close and lock the lid. Select Chili function and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

INSTANT POT CHILI

Steps:

• Add the oil to the liner of a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot and set to sauté. Add the beef then sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onion is slightly softened, about 3 minutes more.
• Add the beef stock to the Instant Pot, stirring to release any browned bits from the bottom of the liner. Gently stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, and chipotle puree, if using. Press the cancel button to reset the Instant Pot.
• Cover the Instant Pot with the lid and lock it into place. Seal the steam release handle. Select high pressure and set the timer for 14 minutes. When the timer is up, let it rest for 10 minutes, then manually release the pressure (unseal the steam release handle). Unlock and remove the lid, being careful of any remaining steam.
• Give the chili a good stir to recombine all of the ingredients. Serve topped with cheese, sour cream, green onion, and corn chips.
