Description

Warm up with this hearty Instant Pot Chili, packed with flavorful spices and protein-rich beans. Perfect for family dinners or cozy nights in.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth

Instructions

  1. Press the sauté button on your Instant Pot. Add a splash of oil, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot with the onions and garlic. Break it up with a spoon and brown evenly for added depth of flavor.
  3. Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin over the browned beef mixture. Stir well to coat the meat thoroughly with spices.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), rinsed kidney beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Secure the lid on your Instant Pot, turn the valve to sealing, and set it to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
  6. Once cooking is complete, carefully use quick release to let out steam. Open the lid, give it a final stir, then ladle into bowls. Add toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream if desired.

Keywords: For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with turkey or plant-based meat. Customize spice levels by adding jalapeños or adjusting chili powder amounts. Leftover chili tastes even better after sitting overnight as flavors meld together.
