Instant Pot Beef And Sweet Potato Chili Food

INSTANT POT BEEF AND SWEET POTATO CHILI

Steps:

• Finely chop onions. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving.
• Place bacon in Instant Pot and cook on Sauté setting (or cook over medium-high heat in pressure cooker), stirring occasionally, until dark golden brown and most of the fat is rendered, 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a medium bowl.
• Let pot heat up again for at least 2 minutes before adding beef; season with 2 tsp. salt. Cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, 8-10 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces, then transfer to bowl with bacon. Add remaining chopped onion, garlic, cumin, and paprika to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add harissa and cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to stick to bottom of pot, about 2 minutes. Add stock, potatoes, beans, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, stirring to combine. Return reserved bacon and beef to pot and stir again to combine.
• Lock lid and cook chili at high pressure 40 minutes. Let steam release naturally. Stir chili until most of the potatoes have broken down (they will thicken the chili in the process and become part of the liquid). If chili seems too thick, stir in a little bit of water or more stock to loosen. Taste and season with salt if needed.
• Divide chili among bowls. Top with sour cream, cilantro, cheese, and reserved onion.

BEEF AND POTATO CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil, garlic, and pepper flakes over medium-high heat.
• Add potatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Sprinkle chili powder over vegetables. Cook until potatoes are almost soft and starting to turn translucent (about 12 minutes).
• Add ground beef. Using the leanest ground beef will mean that you can cook everything together because you won't have to drain the beef. It saves time and tastes richer. Chop up the beef as it's cooking so that it is crumbly. Cook until it is mostly brown. You may want to add more chili powder at this point.
• Add tomatoes and turn down heat slightly. Allow them to become soft. I like to gently mash them with a potato masher at this point. Let the whole mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Serve with corn bread. I like to get the corn bread (which takes 20 minutes) in the over right before I add the ground beef. Everything is done at about the same time.

• Stir in the stew meat and ground beef. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Pour in the water and deglaze the pan for a minute. Turn off instant pot.
• Stir in remaining ingredients except for the beans and sweet potatoes. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Natural release for 5 minutes.
• Add in the sweet potatoes and rinsed beans. Cook on high pressure for another 10 minutes. Do a quick release so the sweet potatoes aren't overcooked.
