Instant Pot Chili Recipe
How to Make the Best Instant Pot Chili Recipe
To make my Instant Pot Chili, I start by setting my Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Then, I add my ground beef and the diced onion to the pot. Using a wooden spoon, I break up the ground beef as it cooks and cook the ground beef and onion until the ground beef has browned and the onion has become translucent, about 3 minutes. I then turn my Instant Pot off and carefully remove the Instant Pot pot. I drain away any excess drippings from the ground beef into a bowl to later discard. I return the pot back to the Instant Pot and stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, Stone House Seasoning, cumin, cocoa powder. Then I add the beef stock, crushed tomatoes, kidney beans and black beans. Secure the lid to your Instant Pot and manually set the timer for 18 minutes at high pressure. Carefully release the pressure from your Instant Pot using the quick-release method. Serve your Instant Pot Chili with your favorite toppings.
