  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Start by sautéing chopped onion in olive oil in your Instant Pot until softened.
  2. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned; drain excess grease if necessary.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cancel the sauté function.
  4. Add chopped bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, tomato paste, broth, salt, and pepper; mix well.
  5. Layer crushed tomatoes and drained beans on top without stirring to prevent burning.
  6. Close the lid and set the steam release valve to sealing; pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
  7. After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before quick-releasing any remaining pressure.
  8. Stir your chili and use the sauté function if you want to thicken it further before serving.
