Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ medium chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes use fire roasted ones for more flavor
- 1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 (14-ounce) cans red kidney beans drained
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- salt and pepper to taste
- Garnish: avocado, scallions, sour cream, Tex-Mex cheese, cilantro, tortilla strips, etc. optional
Instructions
- Add ½ medium chopped onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil to your Instant Pot and press the sauté button. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 pounds lean ground beef and cook, stirring often and breaking it up with your spoon, until browned.
- Stir in 3 cloves minced garlic, and then add 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce, ½ cup beef broth, 2 (14-ounce) cans red kidney beans, 3 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and salt and 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.
Notes
- Serves 6-8 depending on portion size.
- This chili is quite saucy, so if you prefer a more dry chili, omit the beef broth (just be sure to add extra salt) and/or use a smaller can of tomato sauce (or try a few tablespoons of tomato paste).
- If the beef is excessively fatty, spoon some of the fat out before proceeding with the rest of the recipe once you've browned it.
- This recipe freezes well.
- Inactive time represents the time that the Instant Pot takes to get up to pressure.
