Best Instant Pot Chili Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Ground Beef
- 3/4 cup finely diced Yellow Onion
- 2 cans Dark Red Kidney Beans rinsed and drained {15 ounces each}
- 2 cans Tomato Sauce (15 ounces each}
- 1 can Green Chilies 4 ounces
- 2 cans Ro-tel 10 ounces each
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Mustard Powder
- 3 large Garlic Cloves minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil Leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Grated Cheddar Cheese and Chopped Green Onions for garnish. {optional}
Instructions
- In small bowl, combine Cumin, Mustard Powder, Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder, Basil Leaves and Salt.
- Place Ground Beef, Onions and Garlic in Instant Pot, set to Saute and brown for 7 minutes.
- Once beef is browned, cancel Saute setting.
- Add seasonings from small bowl to Instant Pot and stir until well combined.
- Then add Green Chilies and Beans, and stir mixture thoroughly.
- Now make a crater in the middle of your mixture, making sure some of the mixture is still covering the bottom of Instant Pot.
- Pour the Tomato Sauce into the crater, and then add Ro-tel in center, keeping the tomato chunks in the center and away from the sides of the Instant Pot. Do NOT stir into mixture.
- Place lid on pot and select Pressure Cook, High Pressure and change cook time to 8 minutes.
- Preheat will begin 10 seconds after settings have been selected.
- Once cook time has completed, quick release pressure before removing lid. (a gradual quick release will result in less mess)
- Allow chili to cool for 5 minutes, then stir before serving into bowls.
- Garnish with grated Cheddar Cheese and chopped Green Onions. ENJOY!!

Ashley says
If I were to double this recipe, does my cooking time change? I am new to pressure cooking. Also, mine isn’t an instant pot — I assume my “soup/stew” setting would be an appropriate equivalent?
Heather says
I’ve tried to make chili 2 times before this, this was my 3rd try and it was so good! What I like the most was the detailed directions with the spice and everything I’m just starting off with the insta pot and it helped a lot! Thank you so much my husband loved it. I also made the amazing corn bread soooo goood! Now I’m a pro thank you 🙂
Heidi says
Hi Heather… thanks so much for sharing, and I’m so glad to hear you all loved the chili and corn bread!
