- Add in your spices i.e the oregano, salt, pepper and chili powder.
- Then strain the tomatoes and add them and the beans to the instant pot. Add in water to make 1 cup of broth inside. Place the lid and seal your instant pot. Select the “Chili” mode and set the timer to 20 minutes. In case your instant pot does not come with the chili feature, simply put the pot on high pressure for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, the pressure will start building inside.
- As the time goes off after 20 minutes, release the pressure naturally or by a quick release. It will take another 20 minutes for the pressure to completely release. Open the lid and your chili will be cooked.
- Mix the chili thoroughly. Serve with shredded cheese as topping
And there you go! quick ground Beef chili in just an hour! And while you are serving chili, you can always prepare the white rice in the instant pot as well, which would take minutes.
