Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth


Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ function. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the Instant Pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, diced green chilies, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir everything together.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to ‘Sealing’.
  7. Select the ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ setting and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  8. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
  9. Open the lid, stir the chili, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
  • Top your chili with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
  • This chili freezes well, making it perfect for meal prep.
