Instant Pot Chili Con Carne

Step 1

Push Sauté or Browning button on your Instant Pot and allow to fully heat.

Step 2

Add oil to the cooking pot and swirl to coat bottom.

Step 3

Add ground beef, breaking it up well with a meat chopper/masher or wooden spoon and sauté until slightly browned. Drain off any excess fat, if desired.

Step 4

Add onions, bell pepper, jalapeños, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper and sauté for three minutes.

Step 5

Add Worcestershire Sauce, fish sauce & cocoa powder (if using), tomatoes, water and beans and stir.

Step 6

Lock the lid and close pressure value. Cook at high pressure (most machines default to high) for 5 minutes.

Step 7

When beep sounds, wait 10 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.

Step 8

Open pot and give it a good stir. Chili will be a bit liquidity.

Step 9

Serve as it or select Sauté and simmer until you get the consistency desired.
