A hearty Instant Pot Chili with ground beef, beans, and spices, perfect for family dinners or game day gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Pounds Ground Beef
  • 6 Strips Bacon, chopped
  • 1 Can Kidney Beans (15 ounces, drained)
  • 1 Can Pinto Beans (15 ounces, drained)
  • 1 Can Black Beans (15 ounces, drained)
  • 1 Red Onion, chopped
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 Can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (15 ounces, with juice)
  • 1 Can Tomato Paste (6 ounces)
  • 2 Cups Beef Stock
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic, minced
  • Sour Cream (for serving)
  • Cilantro (for serving)
  • Shredded Cheese (for serving)
  • Fresh Lime (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp, stirring frequently. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the pot.
  2. Add the chopped red onion and red bell pepper. Cook them until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes. If using, add the minced jalapeño for a kick of heat.
  3. Next, add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Add all remaining ingredients: the drained beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and all spices. Stir to combine.
  5. Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to the chili setting (or manual high pressure). Cook for 18-20 minutes.
  6. After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes, or perform a quick release.
  7. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice as desired.

Notes

Adjust the spice level by omitting jalapeño for mild chili or adding more chili powder for heat.
