INSTANT POT CHILI

Please See Other Recipes

I find that using a trio of beans enhances the overall enjoyment of the chili for me. I started doing this with my baked beans, and we all really liked the variety, so I started doing this with my chili recipe, too!
My chosen trio of beans are black, red kidney, and garbanzo. I like pinto beans, and cook with them a lot, but I just thought they were a bit too strong for this chili. Personal preference. You can add them and see what you think, if pintos are one of your favorite beans, or that’s what you happen to have.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Lean Ground Beef (or 93% Lean Ground Turkey. Use a little olive oil to brown the turkey)
• 1 Large Onion, chopped
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 5 Garlic Cloves, minced or pressed
• 2 tsp Mexican Oregano
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt (or 1 tsp table salt)
• 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 2 Tbsp Ground Cumin
• 3 Tbsp Chili Powder, mild
• 1/4 tsp Chipotle Chili Powder (this adds the heat, and some extra flavor. Use more for a spicier chili)
• (1) 14.5 oz Can Diced Tomatoes (with juice)
• (1) 7 oz Can Diced Green Chilis (with juice)
• (2) 15 oz Cans Tomato Sauce
• 1 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers, chopped
• (2) 15.25 oz Cans Kidney Beans, rinsed and drained
• (1) 15 oz Can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
• (1) 15.5 oz Can Garbanzo Beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Chicken Broth or Water

Instructions

1. Set the Instant Pot to the Sauté mode. When the display reads “Hot” add the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until almost done (if you use 93% lean or higher, you won't need to drain the fat. You'll need a little to cook the onions).
2. If you use ground turkey, you might need a little oil.
3. Add onion, celery garlic, and oregano. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to turn translucent. Add Bay leaves, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and chipotle chili powder. Stir well.
4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, roasted red peppers, and broth/water. Stir well.
