Instant Pot Chili Recipe

Gather the ingredients.

Select the sauté button on the Instant Pot and add the cooking oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the onions. Cook the onions for 3 minutes, or until they are slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds longer.

Add the ground beef to the pot and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the meat is no longer pink. If desired, drain and discard excess fat.

Add the beef broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Without stirring, layer the beans, the seasonings, tomatoes, and tomato sauce.

Cover the Instant Pot and make sure the steam vent is set to "sealing." Choose the manual or pressure cook setting (high pressure) and set the timer for 15 minutes. When the time is up, do a quick release and switch to simmer. Continue to cook uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, frequently stirring, until the chili is thickened.

Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes.
