Servings: 6
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds extra lean ground beef
- 1 (15 fluid ounce) can red kidney beans drained
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 (28 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked works too!)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste (optional)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Add the onion and olive oil to your Instant Pot and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the Instant Pot and brown it for a few minutes, breaking it up with your spoon.
Add the remaining ingredients to your Instant Pot and give it a stir.
Close the lid, set the valve on "sealing", and cook the chili on high pressure for 12 minutes. It'll take about 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure.
Once the countdown has finished, carefully do a quick release. Alternatively, you also can let it depressurize naturally if you wish.
Serve with desired toppings and enjoy! Chili freezes well.
