Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15oz can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup water (or beef broth)

Instructions
 

  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
  • Stir in the diced onion and garlic powder. Cook for 1–2 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), kidney beans, and water or broth. Stir to combine.
  • Close the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 12 minutes. Allow a 10-minute natural release, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid carefully and give the chili a stir. If you prefer a thicker consistency, turn on Sauté mode and simmer for a few minutes until thickened to your liking.
