- 2 cans Tomato Sauce (15 ounces each)
- 1 can Green Chilies 4 ounces

- 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
- Gather your ingredients.
- 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. (This will be your instant pot chili setting.)
- 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!!
Notes
- Time To Reach Pressure: It will take approx. 17 minutes for Instant Pot to reach pressure before your selected cook time begins. This is in addition to the time to brown beef and the 8 minute cook time you have selected.
- Crock Pot Pressure Cooker: If using a Crock Pot Pressure Cooker, select the "Beans/Chili" setting to manually override the cook time and pressure settings.
