The Best Instant Pot Chili Food

INSTANT POT CHILI

Steps:

• Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot® to the normal saute setting and add the oil. When hot, add the ground chuck, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat but still leaving some larger chunks, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes, beans, Worcestershire and coffee or cocoa and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Season with salt if needed and serve over rice with grated cheese, sour cream and pickled jalapeños.

• Stir in the ground beef and cook, stirring often (break it up with your spoon), until browned.

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.
