Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot or pressure cooker
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (red or green)
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes 1 can
  • 15 ounces kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Optional toppings shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions
 

  • Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Once it heats up, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Pour in the beef broth and give everything a good stir to combine.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and ensure the pressure valve is set to 'sealing.' Select the manual or pressure cook setting and set the timer for 15 minutes.
  • After the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release for 5 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining pressure.
  • Carefully open the lid, stir the chili, and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve hot, topped with your choice of cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
