Chili is super quick and easy to make in the pressure cooker but tastes like it's been simmering on the stove all day. You'll love this classic, mild ground beef chili that tastes just like mom used to make!
This is one of our favorite cold weather Instant Pot recipes. It's a pressure cooker version of my mom's best chili recipe that I grew up with.
When my mom used to make this chili, she would start early in the day and let it simmer on the stove all afternoon. I'm usually not that organized, but the best thing about making chili in the Instant Pot is that it tastes like it was simmering all day.
Basically I used the same ingredients in the original recipe as I did for the Instant Pot chili version. I just changed the amount of seasoning and, of course, the cook time and method.
How to Make the BEST Easy Chili in the Instant Pot
Start off by browning the ground beef using the Sauté function. I use lean beef so I don't have to drain any fat, and what little there is adds flavor.
Next, season the beef, and add beef broth or water to deglaze the bottom of the pot. This helps prevent food from sticking to the pot and giving you the burn notice.
Stir in your onions and chopped bell pepper. Then, you just layer the remaining ingredients and let the Instant Pot do its job. Do not stir everything together -- you can do that after pressure cooking!
I cooked the chili for 10 minutes and let it release naturally for another 10 minutes before opening the valve all the way. You could definitely let it go longer and keep warm if you want. But, I couldn't wait!
How to Thicken Chili
We like our chili on the soupy side, with plenty of liquid. If you like thicker chili, you can sauté it for a little bit after pressure cooking.
It does thicken up as it sits, and it's definitely thicker the next day. Tastes even better, too!
Or, you can add a cornstarch slurry. Just stir 1 tablespoon of cold water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Stir it into the chili while it's on sauté mode.
Make with Frozen Ground Beef
To make this Instant Pot chili recipe with frozen ground beef, just place the beef in the pressure cooker. This method works best if your beef is frozen flat. Add 1 cup of water for the 8 quart or ½ cup for the 6 quart.
Pressure cook for 10 minutes, then quick release. It should be defrosted and easy to break apart. Next, sauté the beef, then make the recipe as directed.
